Perfect Flooring for a Sure Sale

 

When putting your home on the market there is one important factor to remember when attracting potential buyers: homebuyers crave something new and fresh. Welcoming hunting couples or families into your home is business, and setting the stage to attract a buyer starts from the ground up with your existing flooring. Should you replace it? Should you repair it? These questions must be asked if you want to drive traffic into your fresh-on-the-market home and attract the right buyer.

Choosing to replace or repair your existing flooring before putting your house on the market is a big decision. Without knowing whom exactly you’re selling to it’s impossible to prepare your home fit for a specific party however a simple fact remains: buyers want a clean home. It’s a necessity that you examine your existing flooring, whether carpet, hardwood, laminate, vinyl or tile, and decide to replace or repair it.

Andrew Young, co-owner of City Tile in Murfreesboro said:

“Home buyers want new and fresh, and it’s hard to customize someone else’s needs. Let them make the expensive choices. Your job as the seller is to give them a clean home.”

Carpeting is a flooring option that is versatile and easy to maintain and install. Brands such as Ansonylon and Stainmaster Carpet offer economical prices and wide selections of colors and textures. Installing new carpet to welcome buyers into a fresh, clean home will up your sell value and provide interested parties with a canvas they can customize.
