What are the different classifications for bathroom size in terms of realty?
Ok, so I’m interested in buying a new home, and came across a listing that showed the home to have 3.1 bathrooms. So: this is for all the realtors out there:
What are the requirements for the listing size of bathrooms? I know it has to do with what’s in the bathroom: bathtub, stand up shower, toilet, sink, etc. Maybe you could give me all the different realty bathroom size listings with each size’s requirements.
Thanks!
3.l bathrooms means the house has 3 and 1/2 bathrooms literally. It has absolutely nothing to do with the size of the baths. A half stipulates a powder room which could be very small or quite large. Same with all the baths. Their sizes are determined by the square footage of the home. Obviously 3 1/2 baths in a 4000 sq. ft. home are going to be much larger than 3 1/2 in a 1500 sq. ft. home.

There’s no such thing as 0.1 bathrooms.
You can have a whole bathroom = sink, toilet, tub
Sometimes you see ¾ bath = sink, toilet, shower stall (this can still be listed as a whole though)
½ bath = sink & toilet
It’s not possible – and in many areas illegal – to have less than a half (i.e. a toilet with no sink)
