Direct Answer: Repainting can refresh your property’s appearance and usually delivers a high return on investment when choosing neutral, on-trend colours. Most Melbourne buyers respond positively to homes that look well-cared for and move-in ready.
When Repainting Pays Off
- When walls are marked, tired or feature dated colours
- If similar local sales show freshly painted properties outperforming worn ones
How to Approach
- Focus on main living areas, kitchen, bathrooms, and street appeal
- Use quality paint and professional finish for best effect
Questions for Your Agent
- Is repainting common among successful comparable listings?
- Does the benefit outweigh the time/cost involved?
Ask a Collings Specialist if repainting is right for your sale
