7 Secrets Real Estate Agents Know About Bathroom Renovations

Simply put, a white or neutral bath has the clean and updated look that most buyers want, especially for a master bath. Katharine says that a buyer-approved look includes "Calacatta or Carrera, subway tile, and white cabinets." She has noticed more light blue accents on the market, however, and says that her clients aren't complaining. A subtle blue wall color, tile accent, or painted cabinetry creates a distinctive look without being too personal. While it's risky to veer from neutral, Katharine has noticed that buyers are more comfortable with a "more modern or non traditional look" and "the addition of a bold color or wallpaper" in a second or third bathroom.
