Updated Bathrooms Pay When You Sell Your Home
By Raynor James, Fri Dec 9th
Many home owners look for ways to add value to their homesthrough improvements. One of the best ways is to have a go atyour bathrooms.
The Almighty Bathroom
Today's bathrooms are wonderful. Showers that "rain" on you,warm air hydrotherapy bathtubs, sinks that look like water wornboulders. You can pamper yourself now and smile on your way tothe bank when you sell because homes with good
kitchens andbathrooms are in demand. The only caveat is don't make it sogrand that it's above your neighborhood's standards. It's hardto get your money out when yours is the most expensive house inthe neighborhood.
Explore and Plan
The scope and style of your bath update needs to fit the styleand price range of your home and your family, and you'll facespace constraints. One way to approach the project is to canvassvarious places that sell bathroom fixtures, see what you like,comparison shop, and then see if there's an outlet for yourprice range with a good design staff to help you on a "freebie"basis if you buy from them.
Lowe's and Home Depot are useful if you are very priceconscious. They carry brands we're all familiar with. It can befun to explore some of the avant-garde fixtures in some of thehigh end outlets, and then see if something similar can beachieved for less. And if the budget (and the neighborhood) cantake it, go for a truly luxurious spa of a bath.
Simplicity is prized today. I think it may be because life tendsto be so rushed and complicated. Simplicity does not meanboring. Far from it. The simple can pamper and provide greatvisual appeal.
Put together a plan within your budget and you are on your way.Improved bathrooms can actually add tens of thousands of dollarsin equity to your home.
