A Realtor’s Advice on the Best Paint Colors and New Carpet

Fresh paint and new carpet CAN help a home sell faster and for more money – but only if the paint and carpet are just right. When clients ask me if they should paint or install new carpet prior to listing, I almost always say, “Do it!” Hi, this is Michele Shinedling broker/owner at Heritage Real Estate. Here are some great choices for paint colors that buyers love: Sherwin Williams Silverpointe SW 7653, Sherwin Williams Alpaca SW 7022, and Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray SW 7029. And you can’t go wrong with freshly painted white trim – buyers love it! Regarding carpet – even though you’re moving, don’t put the cheapest carpet in the home. You’ll yield a higher sales price if you go with carpet the buyer can enjoy for the next several years – and believe me buyers can spot cheap carpet. Here are a couple of good choices from Home Depot: Cobblestone SKU 1003-363-324 and Trendy Threads SKU 300336036. As you can see, we’re not talking about white carpet anymore. These are both in the gray-beige range – not too gray and not too brown. The intent is to choose something that will go with most buyers’ decor. I hope this helps as you prepare to sell your home. If you have any other questions about how to get your home ready or if you’d like me to run a market analysis for your home, give me a call. This is Michele Shinedling from Heritage Real Estate. Make it a great home buying and selling day. And remember, when you do what you love, people love what you do!
