Adding a new bathroom can significantly increase a home's value, but the exact amount depends on factors like your local real estate market, the quality of the remodel, and the home's current configuration. Here's a general breakdown:
💰 Potential Value Increase
-
National Average: Adding a full bathroom can increase a home's value by 5% to 20%.
-
Cost vs. Value (2024 averages in the U.S.):
-
Midrange bathroom addition (new 6×8 ft): Cost ~$60,000 | Resale value ~$35,000–$45,000.
-
Upscale addition: Cost ~$90,000+ | Resale value ~$50,000–$60,000.
-
📈 ROI (Return on Investment)
-
Typical ROI: Around 50–60% for midrange bathroom additions.
-
ROI may be higher if:
-
Your home currently has fewer bathrooms than is typical for the area.
-
You're converting unused space (e.g., closet, attic corner).
-
The addition helps balance bedroom-to-bathroom ratios (e.g., 3 beds, 1 bath → 3 beds, 2 baths).
-
🏠 Other Benefits
-
Increases buyer appeal, especially in family-oriented or high-demand areas.
-
Can improve function and comfort if your current setup is limiting.
