Multiple Master Bedrooms is new Housing Trend

As I’m sure many of you read my other article What do Buyers want in Real Estate?, I’m going to elaborate on another new trend that was recently touched on in The Courier-Journal, that is making its way into the list of things that buyers want when they purchase new housing:

Multiple Master Bedrooms – that include their own private baths.

Its growing in popularity and appears to be the wave of the future. Why? There are several reasons. The most obvious answer is consolidating of households. As time goes by, children’s parents may want to move in with their children and share a home. The multiple master bedrooms concept gives them the privacy and convenience of having their own facilities accessible just for them to use whenever they want, without the possible intrusion that can occur in a shared living space.

Additional reasons include wanting to plan for the future for the current homeowner having a master bedroom on the main level first floor, as well as a master bedroom in the upstairs space of the home. This gives them the flexibility to use whichever master they prefer.

And there is even a trend among persons wanting to be able to get away from their snoring spouses and still be in master bedroom for their own use.

How much does it cost? It really depends how crazy you want to go with it. Typical values estimate it costing between $10,000 and $20,000. Not too bad, especially considering that many persons feel that it may add up to $40,000 in potential value in some cases to the value of the home.
