The Spring 2010 U.S. Remodeling Sentiment Report reports a 13% increase in the number of homeowners who say they will remodel in the next 12 months. The report surveyed 5,000 homeowners across the country who are considering remodeling, and emphasized the effects of the recession on the plans of homeowners.

For instance, the most popular remodeling projects in past years, kitchen and baths, have decreased and now adding a bath is most popular. Updating a room can be seen as an unneeded expense, while the addition of a room like a bath may greatly impact the quality of life in the home, if - for example - the family has grown.

Do-it-yourself projects are still viable and valuable for remodeling.

Cost of materials is decreasing, as homeowners economize.

A large number of homeowners are "excited" about remodeling - 54%. Those who choose to wait may pay more, as the cost to remodel now can be 20% lower than in 2006, according to a special cost to remodel study published earlier this year.

As reported by RisMedia, here are summary results:

Homeowners who report they: 2008 2010
Plan to hire a general contractor 66% 64%
Plan to do some of the remodeling work 67% 66%
Are excited about remodeling 48% 54%
Plan to remodel a bathroom 49% 42%
Plan to remodel the kitchen 55% 48%
Plan to add a bathroom 49% 53%

If remodeling isn't your idea of a great way to spend your weekends or your money, contact me to look at new homes and resales in Mercer County and surrounding areas. If you have questions on which remodeling projects will bring your New Jersey home the most return, give me a call.
