A few definitions to know in this domain of land development:Raw or unfinished lot cost = raw land prices divided by number of lots derived from land planning actions Finish lot cost = the cost of the land, development impact fees related to land, and common infrastructure (i.e. streets, sidewalks, parks, schools, etc)Residual land value (RLV) = analysis of home prices less all cost to complete and what remains is what a builder can pay for land.

If you choose to  replace with vinyl that costs you less than the remaining value of the carpet, you're still entitled to the carpet cost.
