Bathroom Renovation ROI in Vancouver 2026: What Pays Off
Bathroom Renovation Return on Investment in Vancouver
Bathrooms consistently show strong ROI in Metro Vancouver real estate — but not all bathroom renovations return equally. This data-backed analysis shows what pays off in Vancouver’s market.
Bathroom ROI by Project Type
| Project | Cost | Value Add | ROI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adding 2nd bathroom to 1-bath home | $18,000–$40,000 | $35,000–$80,000 | 100–160% |
| Primary bath full renovation | $30,000–$65,000 | $35,000–$75,000 | 65–85% |
| Powder room statement renovation | $8,000–$20,000 | $15,000–$35,000 | 100–150% |
| Ensuite addition (new) | $30,000–$65,000 | $45,000–$90,000 | 80–120% |
Highest ROI: Adding a Second Bathroom
On a one-bathroom Vancouver home (not uncommon in older East Van stock), adding a second bathroom has the strongest ROI of any renovation. Two-bathroom homes command a $50,000–$120,000 premium over equivalent one-bathroom homes. The renovation cost of $20,000–$40,000 delivers 100–160% return.
The Tub Question Revisited
Vancouver buyer research consistently shows: families with children under 10 prioritize tub access. Buyers without children (young professionals, empty nesters) prefer walk-in showers. Know your buyer demographic before removing the only tub in a family-focused neighbourhood.
