Give Your Home an Edge to Sell with New Flooring

Selling a home in the Twin Cities? It is important that you get your home in selling shape so that you get the price it deserves. After all, in today’s market there is so much competition. One of the smartest ways to really stand apart from the crowd is with new carpeting and flooring from Hopkins Carpet One.

One of the key features that many buyers notice focus much of their attention on will be the flooring. Old pink carpeting throughout the home? That could be a major deterrent for potential buyers. That’s because this adds expense for them. They know the first thing they’ll have to do when they move is replace the carpet. In fact, flooring and carpeting can make or break the sale of a home.  And, when the house is vacant, the flooring becomes even more obvious as it is the first thing you see when you walk in. 

There are so many reasons to consider installing new carpeting or flooring in a home before it even goes up on the market. And, we have put together some main points to consider before you do.

Hardwood or Carpeting?

This completely depends on the overall style of your home and your budget. Obviously hard surface flooring belongs in the kitchen or bathroom. But, other areas of the home are up for grabs. And, although hardwood flooring is a beautiful addition to any home; it is not your only option in giving your home the style and elegance of hardwood. There are many styles of vinyl that resemble hardwood and can offer that elevated look of lasting without the huge price tag.

What Rooms to Focus On

It is important to focus on key areas of the home that will get you the biggest return on your investment. A few of the key areas of a home to consider new flooring in are the kitchen and the bathrooms. The kitchen is the heart of many households and a place where people spend a great deal of time. This is magnified even more by a buyer who is into cooking or does a lot of entertaining. A large percentage of buyers are also looking for turn-key properties and are not looking to invest in replacing the kitchen and bathroom floors. Choose neutral luxury vinyl, hardwood or laminate for a kitchen that will attract your buyer.

Carpeting and flooring that looks and feels great reassures the potential buyer that the home has been loved and cared for over the years. Plus, it helps to eliminate any potential issues with unexpected surprises that could result from old carpeting or flooring like odors, stains and more. A potential buyer wants to walk into a home and have the ability to see themselves and their loved ones living there.
