Does white sell houses?

10 years ago

Getting ready to list house. Painters are coming in a week or so and we need to choose a color. Agent says white. I don't mind white, but it seems like every other house around is white including the neighbors. So I was thinking a warm grey, or a that grey/green color I've always liked. Is white really the color that sells?

Pic of house, currently a pale yellow. Ignore landscaping it's completely different now.

Nice house. White is the traditional color for the style (sort of a Dutch colonial) though a bluish grey might work as well.

That is a stunning house! I'm looking into a creamy off white at this point.

One thing I forgot about until this morning, the trim around the windows are aluminum clad in a bright white that doesn't get painted.

I would leave it the same color, let buyers make it what they want. I wouldn't like white, would prefer a brick red. Another person might like the yellow. That house looks like character to me, and changing the color to white removes the character in my opinion. The yellow is inviting and cheery. I am sure most people could live with it for a while if they wanted to change the color.
