December is almost here, which means we’ve almost made it to 2021. Give yourself a round of applause.
It turns out that when all is said and done, 2020 will be a big year for remodeling.
More people are spending more time at home, and are motivated to make changes due to the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic. I call that controlling what you can control.
Two of the most popular projects during the pandemic have been adding home offices and gyms, according to this article, which makes sense since more people are working from home and gyms have gone through waves of closures since March.
One expert quoted in the story said those projects have moved from wants to needs.
But offices and gyms aren’t the only places people are spending on.
According to an article on Money.com, about a third of homeowners chose to upgrade their bathroom during the pandemic.
The average cost of $9,000 makes it an attractive starting point for homeowners looking to make a change without breaking the bank, the article says. More people are looking to expand the space, improve cabinets, and enjoy more upgrades, such as touchless faucets, since we are all spending more time washing our hands.
One home trend that seems to be suffering from the pandemic is the open floor plan, this article says.
Managing working from home with distance learning has more people searching for their separate spaces.
Have a good week!
