I keep seeing granite countertops listed on real-estate listings, home improvement/remodeling project ads, etc. Why is this particular amenity so popular and considered such a plus? What are the alternatives and why are they inferior (at least, inferior enough not to be explicitly mentioned like granite countertops are)?
In: Engineering
It’s a signal for luxury/high end kitchens. There are a few other terms that signify trim level, like stainless appliances (and even high end brands like Viking, Sub Zero, Bosch), crown moulding. They change over time however, and now seeing something like quartz counters may be seen even more favorably. It’s because it’s often too hard to descent qualitative aspects in photos
