PAINTING YOUR HOME BEFORE SELLING

Preparing your home for sale is about presenting it at its very best. One of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to improve your property's appeal is with a fresh coat of paint.

Freshly painted walls, ceilings and trim instantly make a home feel cleaner, brighter and better maintained. Neutral, modern colours also help buyers imagine themselves living in the space, creating a positive first impression from the moment they walk through the door.

At CAC Coatings, we help homeowners across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Northern New South Wales prepare their homes for sale with professional painting services tailored to their property, budget and timeline. Whether you're refreshing a single room or repainting the entire home, we'll help present your property at its best.

Our goal is simple—to help your home make a fantastic first impression, attract more buyer interest and maximise its presentation before it goes on the market.

In many cases, yes.

A professional repaint is one of the most affordable ways to improve the presentation of your home before it goes on the market. While every property is different, fresh paint can make rooms feel larger, brighter and more inviting, helping buyers focus on the home rather than signs of wear and tear.

Many homeowners choose to repaint before selling to:

• Modernise dated colours.

• Brighten dark rooms with fresh neutral tones.

• Cover scuff marks, stains and everyday wear.

• Refresh ceilings, doors, architraves and skirting boards.

• Improve street appeal with a freshly painted exterior.

If you're unsure whether your home needs a full repaint or just a few key areas refreshed, we're happy to provide honest advice based on your property and your budget.

You don't always need to repaint the entire home before selling. Sometimes, focusing on the right areas can make the biggest difference.

The most important areas to consider are:

• Entryways and hallways

• Living areas

• Kitchens and dining areas

• Main bedrooms

• Ceilings with marks or staining

• Doors, frames, architraves and skirting boards

• Exterior areas that affect street appeal

These are the areas buyers usually notice first. Fresh paint can make the home feel cleaner, brighter and better cared for.

At CAC Coatings, we'll help you look at your home honestly and decide where painting will have the most impact before sale.

When preparing your home for sale, neutral colours are usually the safest choice.

Soft whites, warm neutrals, light greys and greige tones can help make rooms feel brighter, cleaner and more spacious. They also give buyers a blank canvas, making it easier for them to imagine their own furniture and style in the home.

Bold colours can look beautiful when they suit your personal taste, but when selling, the goal is to appeal to as many buyers as possible.

If you're unsure what colour to choose, we can help guide you toward a fresh, modern option that suits your home and helps present it at its best.

Is painting worth it before selling my home?

Yes. Fresh paint is one of the most affordable ways to improve your home's presentation. Clean, modern colours help create a great first impression and can make rooms feel brighter, fresher and more inviting to potential buyers.

Which rooms should I paint first?

If your budget doesn't allow for a full repaint, we usually recommend focusing on the living areas, kitchen, hallway, main bedroom and the home's exterior where first impressions matter most.

What colours help sell a house?

Neutral whites, warm greys and soft natural colours are generally the most appealing to buyers. We're happy to recommend colours that suit your home and current market trends.

Do I need to repaint the whole house?

Not always. Sometimes repainting only the most worn or outdated areas can make a significant difference. We'll happily inspect your home and recommend where your money will have the biggest impact.

How quickly can you complete the work?

Every project is different. Once we've inspected your home, we'll provide a clear timeframe and work with your schedule. If your property is due to go on the market soon, we'll always do our best to accommodate your preferred timeframe where possible.
