The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/how-is-the-housing-market-right-now\/\">housing market<\/a> has been holding up amid slight declines in mortgage rates, with Freddie Mac reporting rates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freddiemac.com\/pmms\">between 5.80% and 6.67%<\/a> over the last 52 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Due to an ongoing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uschamber.com\/economy\/the-state-of-housing-in-america\">housing shortage<\/a>, it\u2019s likely that sellers will still be in a fairly good position to sell their current home. Top real estate agents surveyed by HomeLight advised sellers to get back to the basics of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/how-much-work-to-do-before-selling-house\/\">prepping a home for sale<\/a>, including a fresh coat of paint and doing quick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/which-renovations-increase-home-value\/\">renovations<\/a> and upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"geo-cta widget-cta widget-cta--content     widget-cta--dark widget-cta--dark-blue-gradient\">\n    <div class=\"widget-element--content\">\n        <div class=\"widget-element--content-header\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"homelight logo\" class=\"widget-element--logo\" src=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ccprototypev5\/images\/logo-small-cta.png\" width=\"106\" height=\"25\" \/>\n        <\/div>\n        \n                <h3 class=\"cta-headline widget--bold\">Get a Home Value Estimate Before You Repaint<\/h3>\n                        <p>It can be helpful to see what your home is worth before embarking on any renovations. HomeLight&#8217;s tool makes it easy to get a preliminary estimate of value within minutes.<\/p>\n        \n                <div class=\"widget-element--buttons\">\n            <a data-type=\"In Content CTA\" href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/simple-home-value\/quiz?#\/qaas=0\/\" class=\"cta-click-track widget-element--button\">Input Address<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about whether you should repaint your house before selling, the most important thing to keep in mind is that <strong>the condition of your paint matters<\/strong>. This could mean buyers will not jump as fast to purchase a home that may need some work. If you\u2019ve started to notice flaking or fading paint, it\u2019s likely a wise move to repaint your house to gain a competitive edge in the market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this market, the home that wins is not always the most beautiful \u2014 it is the one that makes the most financial sense,\u201d says survey participant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/agents\/kent-rodahaver-fl-sl3294574\">Kent Rodahaver<\/a>, a top-rated agent serving the Tampa-St. Petersburg area. Painting your exterior and key rooms in the interior a neutral color can help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/prepare-your-home-for-sale\/\">attract buyers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/which-renovations-increase-home-value\/\">boost your sale price<\/a>. However, some variables may sway your decision, like what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/how-is-the-housing-market-right-now\/\">type of market<\/a> you\u2019re selling in and the current condition of your paint.
