I think the best you can do is add a few accent walls in the bedrooms and make it less neutral. we paint everything white in our new builds and very neutral as well as do higher end simple painted accent walls and trim walls to help make the house a little different. if you really want to sell I'd get a interior designer / stager and spend 5k with a way more experience agent who sells new builds. we are licensed if you can't find someone. the way I market is very different.
