Urban legend has it that when asked about the color selections of Model-T Fords, Henry Ford was said to have answered, "You can have any color you want as long as it's black".
That was a long time ago, and we all live in a very colorful world now.
To get the latest color trends you only have to watch HGTV or go to the paint department of any respectable home improvement store. But have you ever wondered what the real estate market has to say about the exterior color of your house?
Of course it's a truism that white houses have universal appeal, but there are many other choices, too. So I decided to see how other house colors fared.
We realtors use many different color names, for the purposes of this chart I've simplified the color descriptions somewhat, combining the likes of "buttercup", "briarwood" and "sandalwood" into the "tan" category.
The chart below shows the most popular colors by the number of sales in the MLS-PIN for Sudbury in the year 2008.
I hope you enjoy and find the information useful.
the most enjoyable, exciting and fun house hunt you'll ever experience
