I am a residential real estate appraiser and inspect many homes where the flooring is over concrete. While the laminate floors are nice, the wood floors are superior. They are thicker and do not buckle if installed properly. I can spot the laminate vs the wood real fast as the appearance (wood) is much better. I lived in a house that laminte flooring was installed and problems did exist after a couple of years. I'm sorry, but some of the installations look cheap! The durabilty is not quite as good.
