Does ceramic tile throughout the house bring down the value?

Question

No tile in bedrooms though.

Answer 1

No, in fact I sold one with tile (ceramic tile throughout).  I got a great price.

Answer 2

It depends on the area of the house if its by the water do not put down hardwood floors.

I live by the ocean just a couple blocks away in a ranch and we have gotten termite damage throughout the house in the floor boards now my parents have to rip up all the floors and put down tile. I think if you put hardwood floors it does raise the value becuz buyers would like it but by the ocean I wouldn't.

Answer 3

No, it doesn't bring down the value.  The on;y problem with it is you eliminate all the buyers who don't like it.  As was said, it's REALLY hard to get up.

Answer 4

It depends on the quality of the installation and the type of tile. It is a pain to remove so if someone wanted to take it up they would be in for a huge expense. If it is a good job they may never consider taking it up so it's a non issue.

Answer 5

It really depends on the area the house is in. If it's warm most of the time tile is actually preferred but if you are in an area where there are 4 seasons, then yes tile through out will not give you all the $ in return. I would go for a cheap hardwood flooring or laminate wood flooring in at least the living room and hallways. Best of luck on your remodel!
