Flooring Trends

For many buyers, flooring is a key factor in the choice of a home located in a Florida for 55 Community. Flooring in a Florida Retirement home can unify a space and make it standout — or can draw unnecessary attention to itself and be a stumbling block to a sale. When preparing your next property for sale in Traditions at Lake Ruby, Lake Ashton or Vienna Square, flooring should be a focus, not an afterthought.
Clean, elegant, and versatile hardwood, tile or vinyl plank is preferred over carpeting in a Florida for 55 Community. Hardwood, tile and vinyl plank flooring have become such a basic expectation that if your seller doesn’t have the flooring installed, it’s worth having a conversation about it prior to Listing the home or maybe offering an incentive for a flooring allowance to the Buyer.
Hardwoods with wider planks, vinyl or tile, are also preferred in the more traditional neighborhoods like Lake Ashton, Traditions at Lake Ruby and Vienna Square.
When it comes to flooring in a Florida Retirement community, we are transitioning from dark, high-gloss flooring to light floors with a natural matte finish. Light floors make the space feel larger, cleaner, and cozier.
Updating flooring can be a very expensive, and deciding whether to move forward or not comes down to cost versus benefit. It’s helpful to gather quotes for replacement, refinish or repair, and cleaning to analyze the options.
Flooring is the subtle X factor that underlies every view of every room in a Florida for 55 home located in Lake Ashton, Vienna Square, and Traditions at Lake Ruby. Other variables like wall color and furnishings, a property’s floors also resonate with buyers: foundational details can make a big impact, too.
