The average American spends 30-60 minutes a day in their home bathroom. That’s a lot of hours over time. Beyond our own enjoyment, there are economic and functional benefits you gain when you remodel your bathroom.
A redesigned cabinet layout by itself may suffice in bathrooms that have modern and energy-efficient fixtures. Better space utilization alone could justify a small cabinet installation project.
Upon resale, a home with updated bathrooms is an easier sale and will fetch more than a very similar house with outdated bathrooms. Smart home buyers get that an old bathroom is a magnet for bigger problems such as mold and leaks.
The raw fact is that approximately 50% of your bathroom remodeling budget will immediately be recouped in the form of increased home value. This data is available from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI).
It may come in the form of brighter, clearer, more long-lasting lighting. Or it may be a flooring material that cleans up easier than what you currently have. It may be a toilet that uses 60% less water.
Perhaps, greatest among all functionality improvements are those attainable with cabinet installation. Paint is cheap. Flooring is relatively inexpensive. Cabinets are right there among the more affordable elements in your bathroom that when upgrading, give you the best return.
An uncluttered, functional space is supremely attractive to today’s homebuyers, especially millennials. Not only that, you’ll get much more out of your more organized bathroom in the time that you spend enjoying your home.
The bathroom and the kitchen are the two places in which research shows that remodeling dollars are best spent. This is also the case for the greater Denver residential market. These three: the flooring, the cabinets, and your wall-decor, combined establish the aesthetic of your bathroom.
And seeing that a bathroom remodel is among the most affordable and high ROI places to put your home improvement budget, it’s come to be expected. Prospective buyers, and renters alike, will pay more and agree faster when the home looks fresh, clean, and up to date.
A pure square footage approach to home valuation would never work. Between two homes, all else being equal, the one with the more updated bathroom cabinets, fixtures, vanities, and decor will sell for a higher amount. If your home is getting outdated, consider what effect this is having on your future ability to sell and to maximize your price.
