re: Recommendations on Wood Floors Needed

I actually like the wood look tile, but everyone here in Dallas is telling me not to do it. Says it will hurt resale. Have had several tell me they won't even look at a house if it's tile in living and bedrooms.

Whatever. As long as the tile you're selecting is not ugly (think varigated beige 99 cent tiles from the big box) and thoughtfully selected, it should be fine. I've got tile everywhere except the bedrooms (engineered hardwood there). Whether floors are wood or tile, most people will put down area rugs, limiting the amount of the material on view anyway.

Anyone who won't even look at a house despite an easily changed flooring style choice isn't especially serious about buying a house. Who's going to pass up a great location, great floor plan simply over flooring that can be changed?
