Are level floors a big deal for ARV?

Shravan Gali
Posted

Hi Folks, Can someone please help me with my dilemma here? 

The floors in our property (which is going through rehab) are not level. We have an option to add a transition material(cheaper option) or we need to level the flooring for whole house - My GC says it would increase the budget by $3500 and my realtor said that this is a big deal when it comes to getting full ARV when we sell.

Is this a big deal? Appreciate any help I can get here to make the decision. Thank you!

@Shravan Gali The only new construction in my area is million dollar custom built homes. The average age of a house is probably 70 years old. If we worried about level or sloping or uneven floors our values wouldn’t have gone up on average by 200% the past 2 years.

In my personal home the floor drops by over 2” in the living room but there are no cracks in the walls or doors that do not shut to indicate any problems with the foundation which I also had looked at when I bought the place for just that reason

Different areas different criteria.
