Bathrooms are deal breakers (or makers) in a home sale<\/a>, and buyers will place a hard minimum on their number of desired baths. But how does a bathroom remodel increase home value? A bathroom remodel in 2024 can increase a home\u2019s value by as much as 73.7%<\/a> of what is spent on the renovation.<\/p>\n

Quite simply, a bathroom remodel<\/a> won\u2019t necessarily recoup everything you spent to update it at resale, but it is one of the higher-return projects that you can do. Anecdotally, a brand new bathroom also helps inspire offers on your house, and updates to this space could help you add 10%-40% more value to your home, with the average added value being 72.7%<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The catch is that every little decision you make (from gutting the tub to choosing the marble pattern of your tile) can significantly impact your return. We looked to top real estate pros and experienced contractors for their best advice on how to tackle a bathroom remodel with an eye on the return on investment (ROI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
