Home / Design / Recent Trends in Home Improvement & Remodeling
National Home Improvement Month may be coming to an end, but it?s only the start of the home improvement season. In the latest poll conducted by the National Association of Remodeling Industry, results revealed that more homeowners are looking to remodel their homes to avoid having to move.
Poll numbers showed that?26 percent of respondents plan to stay in their homes 16 to 20 years longer than they had originally planned as a result of the recession and decreased home values. A new trend in remodeling has, hence, revealed itself; these homeowners are no longer?concerned?with improving their home to appeal to the homebuying masses. Rather, these homeowners are looking to personalize spaces and upgrade amenities to meet their specific needs and lifestyles.
But for current and potential sellers, home value is still a top priority in home?improvements?and remodels. According to a recent Wall Street Journal Market Watch article, upkeep of exteriors can increase home market value by 200 percent. Painting franchise?ProTect Painters advises home sellers?to evaluate their home?s exterior, front door, shutters, garage and fence as these make up the first impression for potential buyers.
As Vice President of Operations and Training for ProTect Painters,?Chris Ring, told?Market Watch,??With the struggling real estate market, it?s important for homeowners to know that most homebuyers make their decision ? subconsciously or consciously ? within seconds of viewing a home?s exterior.?
