Zillow Group Inc. has released a new market analysis revealing that certain paint colors can significantly boost a home's sale price. The research, conducted by Zillow's behavioral science team, surveyed over 4,200 recent and prospective home buyers nationwide. The study found that darker shades such as olive green and navy blue outperform traditional lighter colors, with buyers willing to pay $1,597 more for homes featuring an olive green kitchen and $1,815 more for those with a navy blue bedroom. These findings challenge the conventional wisdom of using light, neutral colors and suggest that bold, personalized hues are more appealing to today's buyers. The preference for these colors is linked to a trend towards organic modernism, emphasizing natural materials and evoking feelings of serenity. Homeowners are advised to consult local real estate agents to align color choices with neighborhood preferences to maximize their home's market value.
