Thinking of remodeling your bathroom?
That might be a good idea!
Doing so can increase the value of your home and make it more appealing to buyers. However, we don’t recommend remodeling your bathroom solely to make your home easier to sell and for more money. The average bathroom remodel costs about $20,000, and homeowners typically recoup only 66% of that cost when they sell.
So, it’s not really worth it if your primary goal is to increase your home’s value.
It might be worth it, however, if you plan to live in the home for a while longer before selling — that way, you can enjoy your new bathroom!
If you do decide to renovate, here are some tips:
- Create a Budget — The first thing you should do is create a budget so you know how much you’re willing to spend before diving into the project.
- Hire a Professional — Definitely hire a professional for your bathroom remodel unless you’re an expert. It’s an expensive investment, and you don’t want it to get messed up.
- Choose Durability — When choosing between cheap material and durable material, always choose durability. It might be more expensive, but it’ll also make your new bathroom last longer (think marble or granite vs. laminate or Formica).
Hope that helps!
