Some Ideas to Consider …

  • What’s Your Reason for Remodeling?

    A recent survey by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) asked about homeowners’ reasons for remodeling. There was a range of responses, indicating that there are many different motivations for undergoing a home remodel. The top five responses were:

    • Desire for improved or new amenities- This is the number one reason for which people report wanting remodeling their homes for the second year in a row.  Luxury homes these days are more defined by amenities tailored to the interests, needs, and desires of the homeowners than they are by fine finishes and sprawling rooms.
    • Repairs and replacements of old home elements- This practical reason came in second.  Whether outdated or out-of-order, updates to existing home features is a simple way to revitalize your home.
    • Desire or need to expand- While smaller homes are still popular, growing families and an increase in desired amenities or needed features like an in-home office sometimes require adding extra space to a home.
    • Wanting to age in place- Accessible features remain very popular and very practical reasons to remodel.
    • Avoid moving to a new home- Sometimes your current home no longer meets your needs.  Moving is stressful and expensive, however, so in cases where a change of location is not necessary, many homeowners choose to remodel instead.
