About this term

Most properties are categorized by bedroom and bathroom count (e.g., 3BR/2BA), and this metric significantly impacts value. Additional bathrooms are particularly valuable as they increase convenience and reduce morning traffic. The number of bedrooms affects resale value more than other factors after location and condition.

Pro Tip

Prioritize the number of bathrooms based on your household size. At least one full bath per bedroom is generally recommended.

Example

The 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home was ideal for the growing family and had 0.5 more bathrooms than comparable homes in the price range.
