Are you planning on reselling your home? Curb appeal is so important for homeowners, providing the first and last impression for any property. While many homeowners are concerned with what siding material your home is clad with, the first thing anyone notices is the color. Siding color actually has a significant impact on resale value, making it crucial to consider if you plan on selling your home in the future.
The Best Siding Colors for Resale Value
- Light browns: Darker browns can come off boring but lighter browns offer an inviting look. The soft nature of beige or taupe is highly desired.
- Light neutrals: Pure white homes aren’t for everyone. Light neutrals are versatile and can be paired with white trim or darker neutral accents.
- Grays: Gray siding is a universal favorite that looks great across any home’s architectural style. Any shade of gray can pair well with different trims and accents.
- Blues: We recommend either darker blues or lighter blues. Deep blues are really in style right now and can pop with pure white trim. Lighter blues can be beautiful in certain homes.
The Worst Siding Colors for Resale Value
If you’re planning on selling your home, make sure you change the color if it is currently orange, bright blue, purple, mustard yellow, or pink. These siding colors can make your home look outdated or out of place and aren’t commonly liked colors. If you plan on staying in your home, by all means, you should paint it whatever color you want!
