I'm at the tail end of doing a bathroom renovation, and I have done several other lil projects and have more to do. If I'm raising the value of my house, is that contributing to pricing people out of homes?

    Not an expert... but looking around trying to figure out how much the janky farm house I live in is worth, the condition of the house didn't really matter. It was square footage, number of bedrooms, number and type of bathrooms, extra buildings on the property all seemed to be the major factors in price. Looked at some house listings where the place was practically gutted, but listed as having x bedrooms and y bathrooms and was on the market for $100k or more.

    I don't think your going to affect things in any real way by keeping your house livable.

      Okay, thanks for this. You're probably correct, I just started to have this mini crisis that a coffee shop would come in the moment I redid my bathroom.
