Recently learned from this forum, a lot of people have been looking for/viewing/purchasing a house, wonder if everyone knows, other than location, sq footage and age, there are other factors that make a house priced differently from the rest. Hope someone will share what they know. I think it would help those who are in the hunting process.
Let me be the first to start, hopefully others will join and keep this topic going.5 Z2 n3 L! Y4 M4 c1 w

A all hardwood flooring may not be practical, new products are coming out everyday, cork flooring may be another option; more nice designs/patterns show up in the recent 2 years.

我们的房子除了洗手间是tile之外,其余房间都是实木地板,是很好的实木地板。但是我们的地板价格算下来比地毯还便宜,原因就是我们自己进口的。另外自己安装大部分,省了很多人工费用。" c" a1 O6 v* K6 T, C
