Hardwood Floors vs Carpet in Bedrooms - Los Angeles Area

[Amber Rueda]

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask your opinions on a design dilemma I'm having. We are flipping a 4 bed 3 bath 2,000 sq. ft. house in Sun Valley California (borderline Burbank if you are familiar with the area). The house will sell in the 700s. We are putting hardwood floors throughout the living room and kitchen and all other main areas. Baths are tile. Would you recommend continuing hardwood throughout the bedrooms or install carpet? I personally would prefer hardwood and it would look much nicer than carpet, but it will be about $3,500 more all together. Do you think buyers would prefer hardwood enough to cover the difference and some? Or should I save the money and go with carpet? I want to go with whatever will give me the bigger bang for my buck.

Thanks for you opinions!
