While some of these sales represent new construction, most involve older homes that may need renovations before the new owners move in. Many existing homeowners are also considering renovation as an alternative to buying a new home. These factors are contributing to strong growth in the home improvement industry.

While the COVID quarantine put a lot of businesses on pause in March of 2020, many home improvement and remodeling businesses were categorized as essential and allowed to keep operating. As a result, this industry has seen consistent growth. According to the Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) published by Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, the home remodeling industry is expected to grow by 12.3 percent in 2022.
