When implementing interior upgrades, it’s important to take note of the features that potential homebuyers want to see in their future properties. Nowadays, buyers are attracted to sleek features that make a bathroom feel up-to-date. When it comes to toilets, consumers want to save money wherever they can — while still investing in a reliable product that will serve them for years to come. More specifically, buyers also look to reduce water consumption with their toilets and promote more sanitary bathroom habits. However, a bathroom that is far more updated than the rest of the house can appear tacky and even devalue your home. Also, adding appliances that only appeal to your niche interests only gives future owners more to change once moved in. So avoid going overboard with the luxury appliances, instead opting for simple upgrades that enhance the space functionally and aesthetically.
This doesn’t mean homebuyers are completely averse to incorporating smart plumbing features into their bathrooms. The smart toilets of today come equipped with amenities homeowners want, such as motion-sensored seats, built-in lights for simplified nighttime usage, and automated flushing technology that uses less water compared to previous models. While these toilets can reach astounding prices, select models with basic features can cost a homeowner as little as a few hundred dollars — about the same price as a high-quality standard toilet. At the very least, look for affordable ways to upgrade the toilet you already have in order to avoid swapping it for a much pricier replacement.
