How much does it cost to repaint?
According to Angi, exterior painting typically costs homeowners between $1,500 and $4,000. The price depends on your home’s size, the number of stories, the type of siding, and other factors. Meanwhile, interior painting costs somewhere between $1,000 and $3,000. The cost varies depending on the size of the room and the type of paint.
While home painting can seem like it comes with a hefty price tag, it’s often worth the money. Painting a median-priced home can boost its value by roughly $12,130, according to HomeLight’s Top Agent Insights for Q3 2025.
So, what color should I paint my house?
If you’re looking for a safe, science-backed choice that will attract buyers, your best bet is to pick a neutral color. Like a clean sheet of paper, whites, beiges, taupes, and other neutrals feel welcoming to prospective buyers and allow them to envision a future in the house. Since exterior paint colors tend to last a long time, you don’t want to choose too bold for potential buyers.
“Given the semi-permanent nature of an exterior paint job, I normally advise against painting a home’s exterior in bright, bold colors,” Lang says.
“Generally, soft white colors, like Chantilly Lace and White Dove by Benjamin Moore, stand the test of time.”
