In Bogotá, just like size, estrato and locality, an apartment for sale with a second bathroom asks 11.7% more than one with a single bathroom, and from 2 to 3 rooms changes the price in - 9.2%. With the fixed area, the additional bathroom adds more value than the additional room, which only distributes the same meters.

How much one room or one more bathroom is worth (with the same area)
| Change | Matched price difference | Comparable groups |
|---|---|---|
| 1 → 2 rooms | 0.0% | 66 |
| 2 → 3 rooms | -9.2% | 151 |
| 3 → 4 + rooms | +1.8% | 82 |
| 1 → 2 bathrooms | +11.7% | 95 |
| 2 → 3 bathrooms | +11.3% | 96 |
| 3 → 4 + bathrooms | +13.6% | 71 |
As compared to the same range of area, one more room means smaller spaces, and that explains whether your cousin is small or negative. The extra bathroom, instead, is paid.
How to use it to decide: If you compare two apartments of the same size, don't pay much more for an additional room; it does make sense to pay for the second bathroom if you live with more people. To remodeling before selling, adding a bathroom usually values more than dividing a room.

Methodology
- Source: live housing ads collected by the intake of Aptology in Metrocuadrado, Fincaraíz, Cienaltes, Wasi, Habi, Houm and Domus, from 11 to 18 October of 2026. Court: 18 October of 2026.
- Debugging: the same property published several times is counted only once (grouping by portal and, between portals, by price, area, rooms and coordinates). Prices and areas out of range are excluded and, for rent, HOA fee is subtracted when the portal includes it in the rental.
- What is measured: prices ordered (published), not closing prices.
- Matched comparison: medium weighted price differences between apartments with different number of rooms (or bathrooms) within groups of the same estrato, locality, area range and number of bathrooms (or rooms), with 6 ads or more on each side. Only changes with 10 comparable groups or more.
- Limitations: are prices ordered in portals, which may differ from the final value of rental or sale. The coverage is higher in the north of Bogotá and in estratos 4 to 6, because the published offer is concentrated there. The neighborhoods and the town come from what each portal writes; when the town is missing it is assigned by the nearest neighbouring ads.
