The Value of Hardwood Flooring<\/h2>\n

Hardwood floors are an investment, but they can also substantially increase the value of your home. One industry surve<\/a>y<\/span> by the National Wood Flooring Association concluded that real wood flooring adds value to the home significantly more than other options like tile and laminate. Real estate professionals and homebuyers often value homes with hardwood floors more highly.<\/p>\n

Here are some key points to consider:<\/p>\n

Attractiveness to Buyers:<\/strong> That same survey revealed the top three attributes consumers consider when choosing flooring: durability, attractiveness, and ease of cleaning. In all three categories, hardwood flooring shines, making it a desirable, high-end amenity valued by homebuyers. Hardwood\u2019s practical, timeless appeal can make your home more attractive to many buyers, potentially leading to higher offers.<\/p>\n

Longevity and Durability:<\/strong> Hardwood floors are known for their durability and can last decades with proper care. Did you know that hardwood floors are often the longest-lasting part of a home? They\u2019re also easy to clean and care for, making them a sensible choice for families looking to invest in the right home.<\/p>\n

Return on Investment (ROI):<\/strong> Of course, the exact ROI for hardwood floors will vary based on a variety of factors, including the type of wood used, the quality of the installation, the overall housing market, and the location of the home. However, many homeowners find that installing hardwood floors can provide a substantial return on investment. Sometimes, the home value increase can exceed the floors’ initial cost. It’s always a good idea to consult with a real estate professional in your area to better understand how hardwood floors might impact your home’s value.<\/p>\n

Types and Styles of Luxury Wood Floors That Retain Value<\/h2>\n

As any homeowner or designer knows, hardwood floors offer a lot of customizability. What types and styles of hardwood floors best retain value? Several factors come into play.<\/p>\n

Wide Plank Hardwood Floors<\/strong>: Wide plank floors are particularly popular and valuable for resale. With far fewer seams, they add luxury, elegance, and formality to any room. They\u2019re the perfect subtle wow factor\u2014proof that sometimes less is more.<\/p>\n

Wood Species:<\/strong> Different wood species can impact your home’s value. Some species, like Oak, are known for their robustness and classic appeal. However, in certain locations, domestic hardwoods may be more in demand.<\/p>\n

Floor Finish:<\/strong> The floor’s finish is significant in its value. A well-maintained hardwood floor with a high-quality finish can significantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of a home, contributing to its overall value. Quality hardwood floors with a 4mm wear layer can be refinished a few times over their lifespan, so sometimes a dull, aged-looking existing floor doesn\u2019t need to be replaced\u2014it just needs a little facelift and some TLC.<\/p>\n
