~May is National Remodeling Month

Hi Everyone:

April Showers Bring May Flowers (I think that’s how the sayin’ goes anyways.)

May is National Remodeling Month .  The remodeling business has seen such a slow down over the last couple of years with concerns over the economy and housing values.  A new study conducted by: Better Homes and Gardens, released January 2010 gives a glimpse to many brighter years to come for the remodeling industry.  According to Eliot Nusbaum, Better Homes and Gardens Executive Editor for Home Design in a speech at the NAHB International Builders Show, the top priorities for potential new home buyers and existing home owners who are planning improvements this year include: Price, energy-efficiency, organization and comfort. “Not surprisingly, we continue to see a ‘cents and sensibility’ approach when it comes to buying or improving a home, with practicality and price being top priorities,” says Nusbaum.  “Today’s homeowner is also looking for a home that fits the entire family ~from a multi-tasking home office, to expanding storage space needs, to a living room that can adapt to advancements in home entertainment and technology.”
