According to the latest AIA survey, the number of architects reporting an increase in bathroom counts for their home projects has dropped a bit, (22% in 2025 vs. 27% in 2024). The percentage of bathroom decrease counts remained flat at 3%, with most (75% vs. 70%) reporting stability here. This could indicate that household sizes are relatively the same — as seen in the stability figure — but that fewer homeowners are adding extra bathrooms, as they have in the past, perhaps to save on costs.
Sizes have remained relatively stable too, with a tiny 2% dip in increases (24% vs. 26%) and no change in size decreases. Once again, stability reigns (76% vs. 73%).
When people buy a home, they’re not just choosing a place to live. They’re making a long‑term bet that their income will continue. That’s why the latest employment report matters so much for housing, and especially for new homes, which tend to attract buyers who are stretching financially for the first time. Right now, the labor market is sending a mixed but generally supportive signal.
