Considering you’re a homeowner trying to renovate the home before selling it, would you keep the tub or would you change it with a shower? If you’re thinking of simply answering ‘The next owner will figure out what it wants!’ you might be loosing some money while answering.
Most home-buyers are looking to find the perfect home throughout. It should fit their wishes from the key to the… bathtub or shower! So keep in mind the buyer when redecorating.
Now, to ease a bit the process of making up your mind, here are the principles before choosing between a tub and a walk-in shower:
- usually families use a tub. Children need a tub if only for their rubber duckies if not anything else. 🙂
- young and active homeowners prefer a shower ‘on the go’, before going out.
If you know who you are targeting, it should be really simple. Your 3-bedroom home with only one bathroom is, most probably, going to be bought by a family. Your studio apartment close to the station will be preferred by a first time buyer.
