Should I add a bathroom to my home?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Adding a bathroom can increase your home's value by 20 to 30 percent of the construction cost. It makes the most sense if your home has fewer bathrooms than bedrooms or if a main bathroom is shared by multiple family members. Adding a half bath on the main floor is one of the highest-ROI projects for many homes.

Why It Matters

Additional bathrooms improve daily convenience and are a top feature homebuyers look for. The right addition can make your home more functional and valuable.
