There are too many paint colors in some Charleston homes

Charleston homes for salePaint is inexpensive and one of the best returns on investment when you're selling your home in Charleston.

For whatever reason, some sellers don't want to bother to paint their homes before listing them for sale and that creates a good opportunity for buyers since many other buyers might be turned off of an otherwise nice home because of the colorful rooms.

Take a look at all the different paint colors used in this Charleston home for sale. It's as if the homeowners couldn't decide on a color they liked and just used every color they could find (and not all of them go together).

But the good news is that it isn't wallpaper which is difficult to remove and I've never met anyone who liked anybody's wallpaper when they were looking at homes.

So bottom line, if you're selling, consider neutralizing your home by painting and by the way, that doesn't necessarily mean boring off white or beige, you certainly can use nice colors but just minimize the number of colors you are using.

And if you're buying and you see a home that has just about everything you're looking for but you don't like the color of the walls, paint is reasonably inexpensive and an easy fix.
