My porcelain wood looking floor boards went through Canyon Fire 2 and survived. The firefighters and emergency services walked all over it, and water was everywhere. All that and they still look fine. I had to re-grout some areas to get rid of the white calcium deposits in the lines. Yes they are indestructible.
However, now that I live in a house with hard wood I have noticed some things:
Hardwood is softer and feels nice walking on it all day
Hardwood is warmer during the winter months
Hardwood flooring is timeless, and I think after 10 years, the porcelain tiles are going to look dated. They actually already look dated to me.
My feet use to hurt walking around the hard porcelain tiles, but I notice the pain is gone now with the hardwood.

I've dealt with all of the above, and came to a conclusion the real hard wood or at least engineer wood is the best choice. Always go with the timeless material/look. While I do like the current trendy washed light grey look, I'm afraid it might look very dated soon and it already does in some of these listed homes. Just the natural color of hard wood floor and the white paint will last longer in my opinion.

House is nicely done. Priced well. Although close to train tracks, but I think buyers will drools all over on the inside and forget about the negative proximity to the tracks.

Not a terrible color but you are right. It has a hint of purple to it. Maybe they just wanted to be memorable away from beige, or grey the usual.

Railroad tracks and then you have power lines staring you in the face when you walk out the door. Looks like a nicely upgraded home, but the location is bad. We'll see if location or nicely upgraded interior wins.

How did this house sell for $725k? Seems awfully low for 4 bed detached home. Foreclosed house?

The home was listed back in 2017 for $865,888 and the listing expired on 8/31/17. From the title records, the owners sold it directly to Tarek's LLC for $725,000 on 9/13/18. Honestly, the previous owners could have easily gotten around $800k if they listed so they left a lot of equity on the table for Tarek.

The West side of the tracks I don?t think are as bad as there is more of a buffer. I would rather live in the Ranch then Walnut C. See this listed that is pending now.
