If you are trying to sell your home and have an  unconventional color scheme, it might be worth the time, money and effort to  repaint with more neutral shades. Buyers sometimes don't see the "forest  for the trees" and will be distracted by your color choices. They may  factor in the cost and hassle of repainting into their offer price. Repainting  can also help buyers visualize themselves in your space.

If you love electric blue or fluorescent orange, it's  wonderful to be able to decorate your home with them. However, if someone is  trying to determine if your home is worth the price, their focus on the many  great features of your property can be interfered with if color is constantly  on their mind.

It's odd but true that minor details like a coat of paint can  mean 'yea' or 'nay' on the house issue. While the major details are definitely the  main selling point, the minor details can make a difference when the major  details are pretty much equal. The paint job on a house can be the sole reason  someone chooses your home over someone else's - or doesn't.

If a buyer really doesn't like your home, they will  probably be thinking about repainting. In one way, this is good, as they are  already thinking of the house as "theirs". In another, it's not so  good, as they are probably mentally calculating how much money they can knock  off their offer for the perceived effort and cost. You want to give them as  little reason to lower their offer as possible!

While it can be hard to cover up a facet of your  individuality, it can be worth it. A few cans of paint that change your living  room from royal purple or hot pink to a sunny yellow may allow buyers to  visualize themselves in your space more easily than if they are faced by a  field of stars. While a mild variation from traditional decor can be overlooked  by buyers, avant-garde decor may detract enough from your home that you will  either have a hard time selling or will be constantly getting lower offers.

You may always luck out and find a buyer who has always  dreamed in living in a rainbow-colored living room, but this situation is rare.  Although most people admire bold choices in other people's homes, they tend to  like more neutral bases in their own. By catering to this fact, you can  increase your likelihood of selling more quickly and for the price you want.
