I have an older (1940) home with original wood floors throughout, except in the Kitchen/Dining area. The wood floors are either pine or fir, 1.5" strips & they are nailed to the joists. Condition is rough. No major damage, but worn, stripped in spots, and evidence of what I assume is animal urine from 25+ years ago.

I am re-doing the kitchen/dining area in LVP, and have been given conflicting information as to what to do for the rest of the home. I've been told the re-sale value is higher with the original floors, and also that it won't matter either way.

I have quotes for both, and am ok with the pricing. I'm considering moving in the next year, so really just looking for what won't damage my re-sale value.

Thanks!

Selling within the year. My home has 3 main issues: kitchen floor is tore up, my front porch steps are concrete and sinking (they are 50 years old at this point), and the home may need a new sewer line. I just had a roof inspection done, and the roofer told me the roof has about 2 good years left.

I want to fix the kitchen floor for sure. Of the other 3, am I better off repairing them now, or am I better served by just disclosing them and then giving the new buyer a concession?

My thinking was that the buy will probably search for something to get a concession for anyway, so why spend the money now and have them still ask for something later.

Is this logical at all?
