REPAINT THE HOUSE - INSIDE & OUT 9
Painting can be one of the least expensive preparations that can make the most impact. Have colors work in your favor instead of against you. You can never go wrong with neutrals. You want your home to feel inviting.

White trim always gives everything a crisp, fresh look.

Most homebuyers in any price range cringe when they see wallpaper in a prospective home. They anticipate a huge mess and an expensive inconvenience. Even if the buyers can see past the wallpaper, be prepared for them to overestimate the cost of removing and repainting. Many will add in some extra “hassle”bucks”! For the most positive impact, you should take it down.

If exterior painting is outside your budget, pressure washing the house and freshening up the trim is a great alternative.
