The Real Deal: How to make your home more attractive to buyers

Right thinking of putting your home up for sale, high mortgage rates are making it tougher to close the deal. And our consumer reporter, Janice Lieberman has a real deal on how to make your home more attractive to buyers. Homeowners want to make the most money they possibly can when listing their home. But did you know the paint colors you use can bring a higher buck sellers have to roll up their sleeves. They've got to put in a little bit more work in order to sell their home for top dollar Zillow's home expert, Amanda Pendleton says you need to be creative to bring in the buyer painting and landscaping are the two most common. And this research shows that really pays to be strategic about the pink colors that you select when you're getting your home ready for sale. Andrea Klein just remodeled using dark cozy colors. Did you know dark colors can bring in more money if you intend to sell? I had no idea that dark collars could bring in more money. This really gave me an opportunity to make a cozy space for my family. Dark charcoal gray is associated with higher offers offers of 20 $500 more if it's painted in the kitchen and $1750 more, if it's painted in the living room, in fact, dark charcoal gray, outperformed white in every single room that we studied. Homebuyers seem to want warm, dark with the feeling of sanctuary. These moody dramatic colors outperformed sort of neutral, pale light, neutrals uh across the board and next color, a few other enticements for buyers. So if you mention, for example, a steam oven in your listing description, and you have a steam oven in your home, right? Your home could sell for 5.3% more than expected. So if you decide to do any remodeling or repair work or landscaping, do it sooner than later, it always takes longer than you think. Well, happy selling, I'm Janice Lieberman and that's the real deal.
