Bamboo flooring and resale value?

I was going to have the carpeting in the upstairs of my house replaced with bamboo flooring.
Someone suggested that I might ask how this would affect the resale value of the house.
She suggested that some buyers would prefer carpet in hallways and bedrooms due to increased noise that results from walking on wooden flooring instead of carpet.
Any real estate agents out there know if this is true?

That definitely depends on the local market. You’d be best severed asking an agent in your area, like the buyer’s agent who helped you buy the house. I can promise you that if they’re worth a dime, they’ll be more than happy to help with this query.

Personally, I HATE carpet. It holds stains and odors and try as you like, it’s never really clean.

Hardwood floors are much more expensive than carpet. To me, it makes more sense to have hardwood, knowing that if you’re selling and the buyer insists on having you cover the wood, you can do so for much less than if they wanted you to trade out carpeting for hard surface flooring. Or they might consider carpet an expense they’re willing to take on personally.
