Should I repaint before selling my house?

Repainting is one of the most cost-effective ways to freshen a property before sale, provided you use neutral, widely appealing colours. Faded, bright, or personalized walls can reduce buyer interest. In Melbourne, quality presentation often translates into faster sales and higher offers. But over-capitalising isn’t recommended: target only tired, scuffed, or dated spaces and prioritise the entry, living and key bedrooms. Ask your agent if presentation is a barrier in your price segment.
