How Repainting Adds Real Value in Bunbury’s Rising Property Market (2025 Update)

And why a fresh coat of paint can add up to 5% to your home’s value

Bunbury’s property market continues to strengthen in 2025, with median house prices rising steadily and demand holding firm. With local homes averaging between A$790,000 and A$875,000, sellers are increasingly looking for ways to maximise their sale price without taking on major renovations.

One of the most cost-effective upgrades?

A professional repaint — proven to increase a property’s value by up to 5%.

Multiple industry sources confirm repainting is among the highest-ROI improvements you can make before selling.








Why a Repaint Can Add Up to 5% to Your Sales Price

On a typical Bunbury home valued at A$850,000, a 5% increase equals:

👉 A$42,500 in added value

… often achieved with a repaint costing only a fraction of that amount.

Why buyers pay more for freshly painted homes:

  • Homes with modern colours feel new and move-in ready.
  • Fresh paint signals “well-maintained property.”
  • Repainted homes attract more attention online.
  • Improved kerb appeal boosts first impressions.
  • Investors will pay more for turnkey properties.

What Painters REALLY Think When They See Your DIY Paint Job (Brace Yourself) By Ready Paint Co  Let’s be honest… DIY painting is Australia’s favourite weekend hobby — right up there with Bunnings sausage sizzles and “she’ll be right.” But here’s the thing: When a professional painter walks into a home and sees a DIY paint job, we can spot it instantly . From across the room. Sometimes from the driveway. So if you’re brave enough, here’s what painters actually think when we see what you did on your holidays. Sit down.

Humidity & Dampness: Coastal weather means moisture — which can lead to mould, mildew, or paint failure, especially on older homes. For coastal homes, standard paint often isn’t enough. Using durable exterior paints, protective coatings, or even epoxy / ind...
