Did you know that homes with real wood floors sell faster and for more money than homes without wood floors?
It's true. In a survey of real estate agents across the country, 58% of agents surveyed agree that homes with wood floors sell for more money than homes without wood floors -- up to 10% more. In addition, 46% agree that homes with wood floors sell faster than homes without them.
There's no doubt that real wood floors add value to a home. In the same survey, 90% of agents agreed that hardwood floors influence a home's marketability. That's value you can bank on. Wood floors add warmth and charm to any decor. No matter what your decorating style, chances are that the wood floors in your home can remain unchanged, and adapt to a completely different look.
Going from a formal decor to a more casual, family-friendly environment? Wood floors can handle the transition with style, and hold up to the demands of busy family life.
Have your children left the home, and you're now ready to decorate your house like you've always dreamed? Your wood floors will add beauty to your vision.
Real wood floors offer homeowner's, and home buyer's, real value over other flooring options. To find out more about the benefits of wood floors, visit Benefits of Wood Floors under the Featured Links section of the NWFA's consumer web site, http://www.woodfloors.org.
