Hardwire Cat 5 to each room on flip?

In the process of rehabbing a flip, going from a 2/2 to a 3/2. Wood panelling will be removed, so down to the studs. Question is, it is worth the additional expense to run Cat 5 to every room? This is a single story, almost 1500 sq. ft. SFH, so I feel like a centrally located router will provide coverage for the entire structure. The last post I could find on this was from 2012, and wifi has come so far since then. We will be rewiring the house, removing the knob and tube system. So we will have access to run the wiring, but wanted to get input on whether it is worth the expense/time. Thanks!

I don't see a benefit to running cat5 to each room.  Most people are going to use and prefer a wireless setup.
