Is Your House Ready for a Checkup? Houzz Research Identifies Common Renovation Projects by Home Age |
Depending on the year your home was built, you might be noticing that your air conditioning unit could use a checkup or that your roof needs a little love. Perhaps your house is in great condition, but new technology has hit the market that you want to install. Home age impacts the types of projects that homeowners prioritize, according to findings from the 2022 Houzz & Home Study.* Houzz analyzed the renovation activity of more than 70,000 respondents to understand the types of projects that typically arise when a home reaches a certain age.
“One of the driving factors for home renovation and design in the U.S. is our limited and aging housing stock,” says Marine Sargsyan, Houzz staff economist. “With interest rates and mortgage rates on the rise, many homeowners are choosing to stay in their homes and pursue renovations that tailor their space to their current needs. Others may move to fixer-uppers, which typically have a lower cost threshold for entering homeownership. Our research reveals common themes among renovating homeowners to provide guidance on the types of projects that may be anticipated based on the age of each home.”
