Speaker 1 (00:00):
One or six point seven light FM Cubby Christine producer Kristin, So,
what is the interior color of a home that will
actually raise the value right of a house?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
If you're gonna put your house up for sale. A
lot of people paint before they put it up for
sale because it does increase the value. But there are
certain colors that buyers are looking for right now. And
it's no longer the grease. It's kind of that gray
beige color. Huh, We're over that. Apparently, we like dramatic
shades of green, blue and gray over white. So buyers

(00:32):
may pay as much as two six hundred dollars for
homes with the right interior paint colors that goes.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
I mean, look, that's a that makes sense because if
it's all ready to go, you're more likely to go.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I'll take it, and this is more appealing. So for
kitchens right now, we are liking green and dark olive green,
and they're saying, if you can paint your cabinets.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
I'm sorry, Kristin had a go for it.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
It's just what's in at the moment. I'm interesting. Also,
like a bedroom that's painted navy blue.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
I don't mind that, but is it is it considered is?
I'm old school to me. If it's navy blue, it
should be for a boy, you know, painted I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
It says it increases the homes value by almost eighteen
hundred dollars just having the bedroom navy blue. It's for
the shot charcoal gray preferred color for the living room.
They prefer the dark gray walls in the living room.
That could get you another twenty six hundred dollars. And
on the flip side, the wrong color can cost sellars
thousands of dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
I probably have all these. Go ahead, No, I met you.
Every wall is about what you're about to say.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
You might pay four thousand dollars less for a daisy
yellow kitchen or living room.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Oh we don't have that thing.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Good, two thousand dollars less for a living room or
bedroom that's painted fire hydrant red.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Okay, no, we're good, all right?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Remember red rooms being in red? What red rooms? Oh?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, for a while, Yeah they were. That was that
nineties or.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Was that likely really the ats?

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Yeah? I do remember that. I do remember that.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, and white kitchens have always been so big, so yeah,
the trends are changing.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Yeah, I mean I prefer to be kind of on
the neutral side to me if you're gonna sell, but
apparently that's wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I also think for moving in, i'd rather have it neutral. Yeah,
and then you make the call right, you know, right, right, right,
But this is you know, zillow nose, zillownose

Speaker 1 (02:20):
And they're usually pretty right.
