Are Your Floors & Staircases Buyer-Approved? If you’ve watched any HGTV show in the last several years, you know one of the first things home buyers are likely to notice is the type of flooring running through the house. If your flooring and or stairs are dirty, chipped, worn, outdated or an unappealing color, chances are, buyers will take notice and move on to the next house. When buyers see bad floors, they immediately see dollar signs. And no one wants to see extra dollar signs before they even purchase a home. So what kind of flooring should you get, can I update my existing flooring, and or repair the stairs to bring them back to life? These are great questions that need to be answered before you list your home for sale. Based on data from the National Association of Realtors®, 54% of home buyers were willing to pay more for wood floors. But if you can’t afford wood floors, there are many options for wood-look tiles, vinyls and laminates — some even waterproof — that will more than satisfy picky buyers. I can recommend professionals upon request. Contact me for a flooring and staircase expert.
