Any thoughts on how the flooring should affect house price?

it's really a personal preference. Tile I find to be cold on feet and hard on knees as you age. Laminate is beautiful but can easily scratch or if you drop something cause damage. Carpet is nice but the dangerous outgasing is a concern for me but then again so are new cabinets and the odor they give off. I would not get carpet for pets but laminate may hold up better. Sort of like choosing your countertops, just what you prefer. Take whatever they give you and you can always change your mind down the road.
