What is the breaking point for granite or better?

[Scott K.]

Got a chance to look at a property in a very hot area just outside of Detroit.

It needs a ton of work. Also has some mold and asbestos issues. So I need to get that price before I can continue.

But I was thinking out loud while at the house that this kitchen should have granite or better in it. it will be no more than 18ft of countertop. My agent didn't think so but he doesn't do this area very much if at all. I told him this is the new "cool" city to be in and it had to be a step above to move it fast at a high price for the city.

So my question is at what price point is laminate a no no. Keep in mind that arv for this property would be close to 175,000. This would be my biggest project and I realy want to have a chance at this property.
