Selling an investment property - carpet replacement options

Sandy S.
Posted

Selling an investment property, and wondering what are the best options for replacing carpet that exist on the 2nd and 3rd floors (townhouse). Obviously, my real estate agent suggested to go with hardwood floors, but is this the best ROI? Given that I have not lived in the unit for the last 10 years, I am not getting any benefit out of it so looking to minimize cost.

Options are:

1) Carpet
2) Laminate flooring
3) Hardwood


What would you recommend?  Given that this would be put on the market for buyers and not necessarily other investors, could I reasonably get away with carpet, as it the cheapest?  Or will the unit sell faster if there is at least laminate flooring?
