Get back up to 71 cents for every $1 you spend. Here are your best bets
You can recoup as much as 65 to 71 cents for every $1 you spend on a bathroom reno. Good news, considering last year Canadians spent an average of $23,300 on a large bathroom remodel, according to Houzz. But not all updates are created equal. “Don’t rip out a bathtub or enlarge a bathroom by removing a bedroom if you plan on moving in five years or less,” says Pervan. Fewer bedrooms and a lack of small-child bathing options make a home unappealing to young families. Instead, focus on creating a “spa-like” atmosphere with a soothing colour palette, clean, modern lines and upscale-look finishes.
