I bought my place about a year ago, and every now and then I look at what is on the market to make myself feel like a jerk for buying at the top of the market. But everytime I see something that looks great and cheap, I always find out that the place is only 16 feet wide, or has no garden, or it needs several $100,000 in renovation. And when I stop and do the numbers, I am always surprised to learn that my place is still more affordable than anything out there today. All of this is a long way of saying that although the market may have slowed, from my perspective, it seems as if the prices have not come down yet.

Unless you are going to go with salvaged wood floor, which is expensive, I would go with bamboo flooring which is renewable, comes in lots of shades and styles, is as hard as oak, and ranges in price from about $4-$8 a sq. ft..
