When it comes to a 2-bedder condo layout for investment, there is one vital question: one bathroom or two? Conventional “property wisdom” holds that two bathrooms are always the preferable choice; and like a high ceiling or sea view, it’s a feature that will pay for itself.

However, given the typically lower prices that you can buy a 2 bed 1 bath unit for, is this really true?

So this week, we looked at some two-bedders from various projects and tried to determine if purchasing a 2 bathroom layout or a 1 bathroom layout is generally more profitable from a capital appreciation standpoint.

But first, here’s a look at the average prices of 2-bedders with 1 and 2 bathrooms across recent new launch projects.

Do note that the dataset here is not exhaustive due to the number of projects with such layouts. We’ve also taken recent projects as these are the data we have readily available to us.
