Do Paint Colours Matter When Selling in Sudbury? | Tanya’s Staging Tips
Do paint colours matter when selling in Sudbury?
Yes — the right colours make your home feel brighter, larger, and more move-in ready. Sudbury realtor Tanya Vanden Berg explains which shades attract buyers and which ones to avoid.
Most Sudbury buyers prefer neutral, clean colours that make spaces feel open and easy to personalize. Shades like soft grey, warm white, light beige, and greige photograph extremely well, which is important since buyers often shortlist homes based on photos. A fresh coat of neutral paint can make older Sudbury homes feel instantly updated without a big cost.
Bright or bold colours can distract buyers or make rooms feel smaller. Deep reds, dark blues, bright yellows, and heavy accent walls can turn buyers away because they picture the work involved in repainting. Tanya often suggests repainting high-impact areas like living rooms, kitchens, hallways, and primary bedrooms to create a cohesive look.
Paint also helps hide signs of wear — scuffs, dents, or minor drywall marks — especially in family homes in New Sudbury, the South End, and Garson. Clean, fresh walls give buyers confidence that the home has been maintained.
You don’t need to paint the entire house. Tanya walks sellers through which rooms will have the biggest effect and how to choose colours that match your flooring and trim.
A simple refresh can help your home photograph better and attract more showings.
