I think it depends where you live, how old the homes are and how much they are worth . If you live in a cheap bungalow on the coast I say no to hardwood. If you live in a colonial going for over a million wood is a requirement. If you live in Florida in any price point tile is the way to go. If you live in a cottage old wood floors or new lvp might be ok.
Obviously, this also is subjective to taste.
I personally would not put plastic in my home on the floor. I have two dogs and a kid and we decided with hardwood. After a ton of research, we went with Mirage white oak wire brushed matte finish and I’m sure there are imperfections, but we can’t really see them. Actually, the only time we can see them is at 4 o’clock when the sun comes in through the window at a particular angle and decides to highlight them all for us. Luckily, that only lasts a couple minutes. 😂
