We have that as we have a pool and each bedroom has its own bathroom. Which is actually a daily wet kid / wet towel / wet clothes nightmare. Carpets wouldn't last in our house and wood water damage would be a shame.

"Laminate wood" is not a thing. Vinyl floors are not luxury.

If you have a financial or logistical reason for not having wood, fine. It may lower the value of your house to put in something else, but you have to live there.

But don't put in fake wood. Ick. Put in something that is loud and proud about what it is.

LVP in the basement is a different situation than in bedrooms.

Does LVP fly in the BRs of a $1-2M home?

No.

A $2-3m home?

Hell no.

A $4-5M home?

Eff no.

This. I like in a $2m home and most of our friends are in similarly priced home. LVP is cheap. Do not use it n

Basement is a different story. You can’t do hardwoods b/c moisture so it’s more acceptable down there. On the above ground levels is tacky.

You’re thinking of engineered wood.

Basement is much different than in a bedroom. Not to mention mismatched flooring. A couple bedrooms luxury (lol) vinyl flooring and a couple hardwood. No thanks. Maybe below 1 million in in this area? I don’t have a good idea of what people are settling for these days.

I’ve seen some LVP in new construction basements. Sometimes the kitchen on lower cost builds.

What’s laminate flooring?

Is that the same as SVO? Or is it a type of hardwood with extra coatings on top to be more durable and water resistant?

What’s that??

What about in the kitchen? Is it okay to put LVP in the kitchen if the the adjoining rooms are hardwood? Or is it better to put hardwood in the kitchen?

If you like it, get it. We have it in the basement and like it.

No. I would prefer carpet in kids bedrooms to LVP.

Prob better for value of the house to our hardwood in the kitchen. Use mats around high traffic or wet areas

however, we want to consider resale value and trends. We had great hardwood in the main floor and second floor master Br and hallways.

Does LVP fly in a BRs of a $1-2M home? A $2-3m hime? A $4-5M home?

Thanks.

I think you and your spouse need to spend an hour in a flooring showroom and get the lay of the land, pricing, and feel of the many floorboard options out today. And they’re pros and cons, and usual uses.

Go in your current city.

Your realtor in your new city can also help with flooring ideas, vendors, resale value, and what’s useful in the new area.
