When my wife and I sold our house about 10 years ago we spent money to upgrade both bathrooms. IMHO, it helped a lot to get a better price that more than covered the cost of the upgrades.
It’s so much easier to sell a house with nice bathrooms (and a nice kitchen). Buyers want it because they want nice bathrooms and don’t want to have to fool with it themselves. They can roll the price of the upgrade into the mortgage and not have to pay for it all at once, so it attracts them.
That having been said, the housing market is a lot different now than it was then.

Yesterday that was true. Today, everything is selling fast.

Agreed 100%. We sold our house 5 years ago and put in all new tile in the kitchen and bathrooms, new kitchen countertop, new vanities and commodes etc.
It sold the home. The buyers said the new remodeled kitchen and baths is what they liked best. Our house sold 8 hours after signing the real estate contract.
