In real estate, unique features and vintage elements contribute to property value. Real estate experts recommend retaining quirky attributes like original wood floors, stained glass, and fireplaces during renovations. Cathy Hobbs, a respected real estate agent, emphasizes that these features are not only desirable but can lead to increased home value. In particular, well-maintained vintage hardwood floors are increasingly sought after and can result in significant buyer interest and celebration when discovered beneath newer flooring. Real estate professionals advocate for preserving these authentic characteristics to maximize property appeal and value.
"Vintage wood floors are a huge selling point for many buyers," agrees Rebecca Hidalgo Rains, the CEO of real estate firm Integrity All Star.
"There are countless videos online of buyers pulling up carpet or linoleum only to find original hardwood floors underneath, which, of course, results in a massive celebration."
"Keeping original wood floors was the top feature that real estate experts identified as adding value to a home."
"Original wood, stained-glass, or other elements that are no longer produced can hold significant value."
