When it comes to preparing your property for sale, one of the smartest investments you can make is a professional paint job. It’s a relatively low-cost upgrade that delivers a big impact, instantly boosting curb appeal and increasing the perceived value of your home.
According to REA Group, homes with freshly painted interiors or exteriors can command up to 5–10% more in sale price. On an $800,000 property, that’s potentially $40,000–$80,000 added to your final result. All from something as simple as new paint.
Buyers are naturally drawn to homes that look clean, well-maintained, and move-in ready — and nothing communicates that faster than a fresh coat of paint. Modern, neutral tones make interiors feel lighter, more spacious, and inviting, while a freshly painted exterior instantly boosts street appeal. In a competitive market, these details can set your home apart! A high-quality paint job also reassures buyers that the property has been well looked after. On the flip side, chipped paint, scuffed skirting boards or dated colour palettes can raise red flags, hinting at potential underlying issues. When you’re aiming for a strong sale result, presentation counts, and professional painting can help get the deal across the line.
A recent Domain report even found that homes with updated exterior paint received up to 60% more online clicks, generating greater interest and inspection numbers, which often translates to faster sales and stronger offers.
