Granite Or Laminte Countertops???
Hi all! Ive recently purchased my first Fix&Flip today! I have 99% of my materials list and 99% of my SOW completed. But there is something i cant decide on and thats wether to put laminate or granite countertops. From what ive learned, its not a great idea or a good return on investment to put granite in average income or blue collar neighborhoods (which is where my property is located). The reason im having trouble deciding is because i have 4 very solid comps for my area and 3 out of the 4 put granite countertops. The 1 house that put laminate sold $3k less than listing price and the 3 houses that installed granite sold for $3k - $5k more than listing price. Now obviously there are other factors that impacted those outcomes but all the houses were remodeled very well, with new flooring, paint, appliances etc. Am i over thinking the decision and the answer is obvious?? Or should i stick to what ive learned and go with laminate?? Any advice or input would be great! Thanks!
