If you are in the market for carpet or any other type of flooring, You are in luck!
The retail flooring business is stagnant at best, foot traffic is down and attitudes are suffering. Many retail sales people are struggling to survive. They are much more willing to negotiate right now, which makes it a great opportunity to purchase new flooring. Prices now could never be cheaper. There is essentially to much supply, but not enough demand. It is truly a buyers market. In the coming months, prices are going to remain stable, due to anticipation of the fall season. If retail traffic improves, you may find it more difficult to negotiate. When that happens the demand will grow and cause prices to climb. As consumer confidence grows, the market should find its equilibrium point, where supply equals demand. Labor is cheap now too. Many contractors are cutting rates just to put food on the table. Just remember to do one thing. Shop smart and know the products as well as its limitations. You can have a direct impact on the economy, by purchasing today!
Good Luck,
The Floor Man
I currently work as a outside salesman for a hardwood flooring, wholesale distribution company. I have been in the flooring industry for the past 21 years and have experience in most areas (ie. Retail Sales, Outside Sales and Installations). Feel free to leave any comments or questions. If you would like, you can drop me an email at cooperjm68@yahoo.com. I am passionate about the business I am in, so I decided to build this site. I hope it helps.
