When you’re ready to sell your house, the last thing you want to do is start to remodel parts of it. However, remodeling projects may very well pay off in the final sale. Hardwood flooring is especially attractive to buyers, and it could be well worth your investment to refinish old floors or install new hardwood floors.
Improving the chances of a good sale for your home
You want the best price possible for you home, and you also want it to sell quickly. That means that you need to make the home look the best that it can. Not every buyer is looking for a fixer-upper, so remodeling, repairing, or installing new hardwood floors can make a big difference. The majority of experts in the real estate industry all agree that hardwood floors are one of those features that give you the best return on investment.

ROI for hardwood floors
Beautifully maintained, newly refinished, or installed hardwood floors are one of those home features that will impress any potential buyer. Although hardwood floors can be expensive, they will typically add over 2% to the sale price, and give you an ROI of up to 80%. Hardwood floors are one of the most popular projects that appeal to potential buyers, right behind remodeling your kitchen and bathroom.

One downside of installing hardwood floors to attract buyers is the expense. You can cut down on the cost, without diminishing the appeal, by choosing engineered wood. Engineered wood gives you all the beauty and resale value of solid hardwood floors with two major bonuses. They are less expensive, and they are more versatile.

Since the kitchen and the bath are the two main rooms that buyers will look at, remodeling the kitchen and bath makes sense in terms of resale value. Engineered floors can easily be fitted and installed in both the kitchen and the bathroom. The structure and composition of engineered floors mean that they can easily handle the moisture and temperature fluctuations of a kitchen and bath while maintaining gorgeous hardwood floor appeal.
