[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LVP is appropriate at that price point. [/quote]

+1. That is a cheap starter home. The original hardwoods must have been a mess, though maybe it was all carpet originally.[/quote]

Here's the thing - I'd rather purchase a home with just the carpet replaced and everything else updated then LVP.[/quote]

Would also rather cheap finishes and nicer floors. Can update finishes easily while living there. Replacing flooring is a PITA.[/quote]

I think you're in the minority, an the fixtures in that house aren't exactly high end either. Are you going to drop down to formica countertops and a vinyl shower enclosure in order to get hardwood? [/quote]

I agree.  At this price point, there are many buyers who want an upgrade from carpet, but can't afford engineered wood or true hardwoods.  These are people who want the most for what they can afford and are not planning on doing major upgrades after they move in.  OP has a bigger budget than many who are buying in this price range and would prefer carpet so that she can move in and not feel bad for tearing it out and upgrading to actual wood or engineered wood.

OP, you are not the ideal candidate for recently flipped properties.  You want to be able to select your finishes.  Many of the people that are looking at flipped properties like this want move in ready and as much as their dollar can buy.  They don't want to change anythign when they get in.  You don't get to pick and choose when you pick flipped properties, you get what the flippers chose.  And the flippers are choosing based on what is selling faster.  LVP is more popular with those who are buying flipped properties.  You probably should get a pre-flipped house and then get a GC to come in and turn over the house for you, where you get to pick the finishes. [/quote]
