Help With Flooring Decision, Please

[Manuel A.]

I'm probably over thinking, but I'm really debating over what the flooring should be for the beds/living room/hallways. It's a big deal to me currently!

Wood (laminate), tile, or carpet.

Everyone on here likes wood. I've never even seen a house with wood floors here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I went on the MLS and found that high priced houses ($500,000+) have carpet in their living rooms/beds, mostly. And tile in the halls.

That being said the subject house I'm looking to bid on, it had one comp that was the same exact model, like two blocks away. It sold for $155k. It had tile in the living room/beds. I think tile in the living room/beds is a horrible idea. I'm thinking you want warm, soft, inviting carpet instead of tile. Especially for the kids.

If I match, or beat every other finish, do you think I can put nice, thick, carpet in the living room/beds and get a sale comparable to the $155k figure, or even at least $150k? Cause I really don't want tile in the living room/beds. It's fine in the hallway, kitchen, and baths though of course...

I've been thinking about this all night, and it's already 2:30am almost!

Thanks,
-Manuel
