Primary suite full bathroom with no shower.

[Fernando]

All the people I visit call is master. Now in professional terms agents call it primary bedroom. Master is considered gender related. Makes no difference on the bathtub not having showerhead on this appraiser's appraisal. They need to forget about it. It is a full bath. I consider a bath with a shower only a full bath.

I would say cost to cure might be $1k to 2k max on installing shower head but how close are your comps already on the value?

Many plumbing people could do the shower head and complete the work in one day most likely. If you see that market adjustment indicated in the analysis. Make the adjustment.

I find it silly calling suite. Misleading if it's just a slightly larger bedroom.
In reports, I call it Large Bedroom. And I go around it and type Bathroom next to Large Bedroom.
If in Fernando world, they would be called mBedroom and mBath but reviewers don't understand it.

The difference between Michigan and Texas.

Many handyman plumbers could install the shower head, repair the wall all within a day for maybe $1k to $2k max. Many could probably be done in a few hours for $1k or less. If your other comps are that close on indicated value, you have a good appraisal. Give more weight to the lower indicated value on qualitative analysis. Round to the lower indicated value on $1k difference in indicated value due to no shower head in primary bathroom.

Most homeowners or sellers or buyers locally refer to it as master bedroom. But agents have changed their terminology for fear of showing gender bias. What if the couple is homosexual? Who is the master?

NAR decided "primary bedroom" and "primary bath" would be best term to use.

Of course an architect can use whatever term they want on the building plans. If person buying plans and/or house don't like the terms used, they can ask the architect to change the terms on the building plans.

Does anybody here realize that the buyer may not have noticed the shower, or cared about it. When i sold r.e. it was the hot buttons, not the minutia. Some of you are acting like an avm trying to figure out minutia values. This thread is getting into appraisal loopeydom.

Well you don't have any frigging common sense. Do you believe that people, working people, people with children, have any frigging time to fill a bath with gallons of expensive water and take a stupid frigging bath before going to work? You must be an idiot.

You ANSI crybabies do notice that none of those builder plans are rounded to the foot or half foot.

The only time I ever used the term 'master bedroom' was in an appraisal. I'd never use the term as a homeowner - it's my bedroom. Here's the office, here's the kids' bedroom, and here's my bedroom.

A suite is like a motel or hotel that has rooms with one or more bedrooms, a living room and kitchen or kitchenette in my mind. Bathroom of course.
