Homebuyers

In years past, home buyers tended to believe that hardwood flooring was an option only for buyers in the market for a luxury property. But today, the vast majority of buyers who desire hardwood floors are looking for a moderately priced home.

As for how many homebuyers prefer a home with engineered or solid hardwood flooring, the National Association of Home Builders' "What Home Buyers Really Want" survey puts that figure around 80-percent.

Wood floor upgrade

It's wise to think about the high demand for homes that feature wood floors, whether a home sale is in your immediate or distant future.

If you're weighing the pros and cons of undertaking a wood flooring upgrade, consider that 54-percent of buyers were willing to pay more for a home that featured this timeless floor covering, according to a survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors.

In addition, statistics show that sellers can expect a 70 to 80-percent return on Investment (ROI), and in some cases, ROI is as high as 150-percent.

Homes sell faster

In general, you can expect your home to sell faster if it includes wood floors, and perhaps, this is the best reason for a flooring upgrade.
