Bathroom Addition

Adding a new bathroom seems like an ROI no-
brainer. And yet, it's not. So ask yourself why
you're fantasizing about the update. If it's

because you're legitimately short on toilets, it's
worth considering. According to the National

Association of Home Builders, buyers tend to
favor houses with an equal number of bathrooms

and bedrooms. And if you're in a four-bedroom
with one bathroom, you probably do, too.

How to add some money to your love: If a new bathroom will boost your

happiness (or sanity), there are ways to make the most of your remodeling
budget. Adding one within the existing footprint of your home and next to

existing plumbing will save thousands. And like a kitchen update, the

bathroom is a place where DIY pays off. Doing your own paint or demo can
save a bundle.
