How do hardwood floors affect the resale value of a home?
A well-maintained hardwood floor is an asset to any home. In addition to the aesthetic value, hardwoods enable people with allergies to avoid problems with pet odors and allergens held in carpet fibers. As a REALTOR®, my clients often request homes with hardwood floors to eliminate potential problems stemming from smoking and pets. Hardwood floors may not garner more money for your home, but they will certainly give you an edge in terms of your home’s marketability.
