[quote=Anonymous]Just bought a home with a lower level (basically a walk out basement transformed and marketed as a lower level). floors seem very dry, it looks really like a lower level, not a basement (the terrain is slanted so all rooms have windows and natural light). In the bedroom, the owners put some sort of fake wood (upstairs is hardwood), looks good ( It think it is in the "engineered hardwood flooring" category). In the family room next to the bedroom they currently have carpet. I have to change the carpet before moving in and I want to add value to the house. Make the lower level even more of a lower level then a "former basement" (because the house is not huge and 3rd bedroom is downstairs).

My questions are the following:
1- would you actually prefer to retain carpet in a famliy room instead of wood floors?
2- I don't think it would be very reasonable (or even possible?) to put hardwood in the lower level even if we triple check that everything is super dry, correct? (it is a bungalow)
3- what kind of options would you consider for floors in a lower level/walk out basemenr that would be the closest possible to the feel of hardwood floors ? Engineered harwood? Bamboo ? Cork? Laminate ? 
4- would you actually prefer tiles? (not a fan myself, always feel like I am in a kitchen?)
