floor as being normal for this type of structure and use.
NUMBER OF BEDROOMS
Bedrooms should be counted considering the resale value, rather than the homeowner’s personal
use of the rooms. For example, if you go upstairs and find three (3) rooms and a bathroom and
the owner says there are only two (2) bedrooms, the other room is used as a library, sewing
room, office, etc., then for our purposes, that third room is a third bedroom. One must be careful
because libraries, offices and sewing rooms can be legitimate depending on the location in the
house and access. Presence of a closet space generally is reason to classify as a bedroom(s).
However, it should be noted that a closet is not the only measure to determine. ie: many homes
had no closets in the bedroom, yet they are still classified as bedrooms.
BATHS OR BEDROOMS
Count the physical number of rooms and total fixtures. For bathrooms, enter the number of
rooms and under fixtures, enter the total number of fixtures. A fixture is a bath, sink, shower,
urinal, bidet, jacuzzi tub, etc.
