If you’re looking to sell your old home so you can move into a newly-constructed one, a few updates are never a bad idea. For instance, see below what buyers are expecting in bathrooms these days, and get the most bang for your re-sale buck.
Dark colors
What’s that, you say? Bright colors should be used to make a space feel lighter? Pshaw! Home buyers are so over it. These days, charcoal grays, midnight blues and chocolatey browns are seen adorning the chicest walls. Consider giving your bathroom a paint job – or at least an accent wall – to keep up with the times.
More showerhead options
Gone are the days when your only choices were to turn the showerhead knob to the left or the right. These days, people not only want more control over their shower experience, they want DIGITAL control. That means programmable showerheads that customize water temperature and flow.
Floors galore
For decades, the only selections of floor materials were super-shiny ceramic or porcelain tiles. But in the 21st century, people want the look and feel of something different. For instance, tiles made to look like wood, or concrete tiles – durable, yet warmed up with a bathroom rug or two.
And don’t forget: check with a knowledgeable real estate agent before making any improvements. They’re most likely to know which will have the highest resale value.
