An Extra Sink
If you want to wow potential buyers out of the gate, install a his and her (or his) sink. Most married couples run on the same schedule. That means they’re probably both fixing to get ready for work or bed around the same time. Sharing one bathroom is hard enough, but one sink makes it almost impossible. One has to wait while the other brushes their teeth, applies their night cream, or shaves their facial hair. Instead of working around one another, couples should work together. Getting dual sinks is a cheap way to make your master bathroom stand out as unique to potential buyers.

Two Ways to Clean
More is…more! If you have the room in your master bathroom, install a shower and a bathtub. Having both options brings a lot of value to not only your bathroom, but your house. Some days you need to jump in the shower quickly before running out. Others, you want to sprawl out and decompress in a nice, hot bath. Having two ways to clean gives potential buyers the impression of personalization to their everyday routine. This can easily help generate interest in buying your house.

Hot Tub It Up!
While a shower and a bathtub are nice, you may want to forgo the bathtub and go with a hot tub instead. Hot tubs have a long-standing perception as a luxury item. Therefore, adding such a coveted possession into the master bathroom can really help bring up the perceived value of your house. If there’s room for all three, then by all means! The bigger the master bathroom, the happier the potential buyer.

Lights! Lights! Lights!
Homebuyers love lighting. This rule reigns true for houses, so why not give them more of what they want in the bathroom? Put your master lights on a dimmer so future homebuyers can dictate the mood of their sanctuary. From there, add lighting in areas that can use an extra burst. Maybe put a vanity around the mirror? Perhaps a halo recessed light above the shower? Go completely modern and put a backlight on the inside of the medicine cabinet! Whatever your choose, the more lights in the master bathroom, the more likely you are going to sell your house fast.

Turn Up the Heat
Let’s face it, nobody likes to step onto a cold floor after a hot shower on a winter’s day. That’s why heated floors are all the rage in master bathroom renos. Up the heat (and interest in your house) even more by adding heated toilet seats. One last heat trick? Add a steamer to your shower. This can help transform the shower into a sauna. These added treats make homebuyers look at the master bathroom as more of a spa experience. They not only turn up the heat in the bathroom, but will have your house setting the market on fire too.
