NEWS: Homes With Slate Blue or Black Front Doors Sell for $6,449 More, Says Zillow

Recent research conducted by Zillow indicates some factors that determine price valuation across the country. Zillow finds that homes with slate blue or black front doors appeal to more recent and prospective buyers and could sell for a higher price. Conversely, pale pink and cement gray front doors could negatively impact a home's value.

"This research shows how seemingly minor home improvements can make a big difference in the way a potential buyer views and values a home," said Amanda Pendleton, Zillow's home trends expert. "A front door is often the first thing that captures a buyer's eye, and first impressions matter when buyers need to make swift decisions in today's fast-moving market. When going through a stressful process that brings half of all buyers to tears, visual cues like color can have an outsize impact on decision making."

Although a home's ultimate sale price is determined by a lot of other cosmetic and non-cosmetic factors, the findings of this research are very interesting because you’d normally wouldn't think about such things.
