Does the color of bathroom walls influence sold price?

I doubt it - unless the color is "hideous"! 

I would say, generally speaking, natural light has more $$$ value than any specific colors.

I don't know that I can put a number on anything like this, but I do know that the more neutral a color is, the fewer objections I hear from buyers that they need to spend money on repainting.

I agree with Nina Hollander - if a buyer sees something that needs repainting the value of the house goes down. I don't think you can put a price on it but a bathroom is bigger to repaint than a door.....

Sad that people need it spelled out, lack of vision and need to walk into perfect instead of possessing the ability to imagine it. YES, color matters more than it doesn't...not sure how much it can be the silver bullet though?

My response to your question ...YES. It is a bunch of BS.

How do they figure an actual amount?  We do have buyers who can't see past paint colors, and we have to remind them it can be changed, so sometimes it does help or hinder a sale, but I'm not sure how they calculate the actual #.  -Kasey

Worth a try, I will start painting and raise the prices accordingly.

I've seen potential buyers love a house and turn it down because they didn't like the color - even when I offered to buy them paint LOL

"the eye buys" and for some, that's a negative that would influence their offer.... the majority would not consider it an issue.... they have their own taste in colors and the cost is not out of reach....

Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 They have to come up something different, isn't it?

  RIS Media must be running out of material.

I shared that & didn't think it was too bad but where the hell did they get the prices. Oh ... Z ... that's right .... the #1 source of real estate information!

They love Z who does sponsor things with them I'm sure. Rubbing elbows with such a big conglomerate as that & all.

I haven't seen any other surveys have you?

I had a home with a black bathroom. Everyone who viewed came out of that room with a facial expression or comment. 

There comes a time when the crossroads of too much time, technology and common sense never merge. This would be one instance of many.

Annette,

Ireally doubt that it would hinder the sale.  Our home in Los Angeles had several layers of wallpaper, the last one being a newprint style, it was hideous, and we loved the house.  People are not that stupid.  A

Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 Tony and Suzanne Marriott, Associate Brokers said it best.

I'm with Debe Maxwell, CRS ,

It may influence time on market but don't think so on the price.

It depends on what the bottom line is worth to RIS Media.

No - it may influence the SALE (time on the market) but, painting a bathroom may cost $400 - $500 - it certainly won't influence the sales price though.

And, you're right, Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041  - I doubt the authors of such articles have ever accompanied a buyer through a home! #JustSayin'

It has to be pretty bad.

I don't believe that to be true. Most buyers realize a coat of paint can change the look entirely.

As with any room, color matters to a buyer to a point. They can always paint over it. But take 2 houses, same everything but one needs paoint and others doesnt, the one that does not need paint will get picked first if price is the same

I have to go there

I think this was a foolish conclusion.

I don't know how they came up with the number, but I do know that the wrong color will kill a sale.

Not sold price but desirability.

Studies have shown it is true

The outside color of the home seems to: I noticed that blue houses takes a good deal longer to sell for some reason.

     two tone color sells

I think anything can influence any sale it will depend on the buyers and on the issue

For us, as long as the colors are not out of the normal palette range and the home is clean; that is all that is needed. 

I'm sure certain colors will sell for certain buyers. I can't imagine it increasing value at all.

I tend to discard most of what RIS Media says.  I find maybe 20-30 articles a month worth sharing across all their outlets.  I'd probably make a joke out of how zillow can't even get a home's price right, how can they figure out colors and value to them.  Then end it with a #NoZillow hashtag.  :)  Saw that on here from another local area agent and adopted it for my anti-zillow posts.
