Should I remodel my bathroom?
I bought my primary single-family residence a couple of months ago. There is a master bathroom designs that my wife and I really like. It will need shower and floor tile replacement, new plumbing fixtures, and the new shower enclosure and going to cost us around $9000 all in. We are hoping to live in the house for a year or two and then rent it out. We are hoping to hold it for the long term as we are in Austin suburbs where appreciation has been great however not sure what our actual holding period would be. as we are going to be in the house for only a year or two before renting I’m not sure whether I should spend that money in the house just to enjoy the new bath for a short time. Any thoughts on how much value a bathroom remodel like that would add? Will I be able to recuperate my cost when I sell?
