We plan on downsizing our house and the bathrooms need a fix!

Make sure they are sparkling clean. Paint the rest of the bathroom a fresh bright color and accessorize with up to date decor. Take a look at "staged" houses on line and make yours look as good for minimal money spent.

think about calling REBATH to re do the tub and shower. Also repaint the rest of the bath for a fresh look and install a new light fixture. Bathroom and kitchen redos sell a house you'll get all of the money back and more.

Investing in a bathroom remodel yields a 62 percent return, on average, but you've got to do it right. Many homebuyers are looking for a master bathroom with two sinks, custom showers, and great lighting. You'll turn off buyers if you only put in the minimal amount of work. A lot of folks, when they buy a home, don't want to have put a lot of work into it. An outdated bathroom requires a lot of work. Since bathrooms are especially prone to looking dated, pick neutral colors and finishings. And sometimes less is more. "Giving it new paint, a new toilet, a new shower faucet, and a new [shower] head is probably the best bang for your buck. But that's assuming the flooring is nice and the walls around the tub and shower are in good standing condition.

Thank you so much for the time and thought that you put into your great advise. I'm feeling stronger about a lovely "rebath" that will make my bathrooms more appealing. I know it sounds strange but today's toilets are nicer than three decades ago. I never thought about a new toilet! Thank you!
