The chart below gives a little different picture of the real estate market in Sudbury, MA from the usual numbers and predictions realtors often present. The good news is that this year's 178 total home sales for Sudbury are right in the typical annual range. I've been doing this color analysis for several years now, and to my surprise this is the first year that white is not the most popular color. The most popular color for 2010 is gray, followed by tan, then white in a close third place. Together these three colors make up 2/3rds of the market.
I never used to think much about the affect that a color had on the saleability of a house other than the old urban legends that declared brown and blue as the hardest color houses to sell. But several years ago I took out a buyer couple and noticed immediately that they tended to gravitate to red houses, so I changed their search results to concentrate on red houses and they found the perfect house within a week. And, yes, it was red.
If you're thinking about painting your house or changing the color to prep the house for sale give me a call at 978-580-1069, I'd be glad to point you in the right direction.
