With the economy changing the way it has you would think that there would be a substantial change in the home reonvation business. The fact is that 28% of architects have seen an increase in requests for home bathroom renovations this year as compared to the same time last year.
What has changed is the kind of renocations that are taking place. The home owners are loking or value and not flash. They want elements included that are eco-friendly and are going to appeal to many other buyers. Architects and bathroom contractors alike are seeing the following renovation requests on a frequent basis:
-Water-saving toilets
-Radiant heated floors
-Accessibility/universal design, or features that are adaptable and
allow homeowners to age in place
-LED lighting
-Doorless showers
The main concern they have is investing too much money into their home and never seeing the return on their investment. Certain markets are especially sensitive to overimprovement. In the Cincinnati real estate market homeowners who overimproved thier bathrooms are takinga substantial loss on thier investment.
