it really depends on the quality and condition of the parquet.

There are some very nice top end parquets around, but the vast majority is bargain basement stuff people isntall simply because its an inexpensive way to get the hardwood floor look.

(the typical low end stuff is pictured)

that said, parquet patterns and type pictured is generally not a high selling point and ads no value other than a standard covered surface, whereas a real strip or plank hardwood floor may add additional value to a homes selling price.

Typically parquet is viewed as a poor mans hardwood floor.

Depends who is doing the buying though. They may LOVE parquet. Then again they might rip it out and offer a lower price becasue of the additional needed work to put a real hardwoord floor in.
