How Flooring Can Influence a Sale
As a seller in the hot Okanagan real estate market, you want to attract bidders. But where and how much to invest in your property? There are several low-cost things you can do to boost property value before listing, including landscaping and exterior cleaning and painting. If you own an older character home, or one well-worn by family traffic, one of the most important things you should consider is to install new flooring that looks clean, modern and appealing to home buyers.
Your kitchen and bathrooms are the most important rooms of the house to improve, and will be under the scrutiny of home buyers. As the heart of your home, the kitchen needs to be attractive and inviting. Understandably, neutral colours in waterproof materials are trending in floor design. This can be balanced by bold window dressings, colourful pop art and kitchen accessories.
Tile is easy to sweep and install quickly in entrance hallways, bathrooms and kitchens. Visit your nearby carpet and tile showroom to choose from many decorative patterns, shapes and colours. Love the natural look of hardwood throughout the home? So do millions of other home enthusiasts. Hardwood is also easy to clean, with options including scratch, stain and scuff resistance to keep maintenance to a minimum. Luxury vinyl and laminate are two more options to explore when planning floor renewals.

Why install new floors before you list with your realtor? It’s all about impact.
So, before you list, talk with an expert agent to plan the time to install new flooring. You’ll attract more buyers, and boost your home’s value for added profit. If you would like to explore new trends in flooring – whether it’s carpet, tile, vinyl plank, or heated floors — before listing your home, visit a local Vernon showroom. You’ll discover a stimulating gallery setting and knowledgeable staff experienced in floor design so you can sell your home quickly. But, who knows – after installing new floors you may be so impressed, you decide to keep the house for yourself.
