Join us to hear the Harvard economic forecast for the Remodeling Industry 2025 with industry analyst Abbe H. Will, Associate Director, Remodeling Futures, Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University.
After a period of exceptional growth, the residential remodeling market is resetting to a new normal for 2025 and beyond. Core drivers of home improvement activity such as household incomes, home values, and homeowner demographics continue to support significant levels of spending. Combined with the ongoing aging of the housing stock and a growing need to improve home performance on a variety of metrics, remodeling activity is expected to remain near pandemic-induced peaks in the coming year.
