This week’s Consumer Pulse focuses on home improvement sentiment and aspirations. While many homeowners have been delaying major renovations this year, choosing instead to complete smaller projects, attitudes are shifting. With a greater sense of urgency fueled by pent up demand, 71% of those with major renovation plans intend to tackle their larger projects within the next two years.
Our Pulse underscores the resilience and adaptability of homeowners in the face of economic uncertainties. With 61% of homeowners believing their home will appreciate in value over the next year, along with pent up demand for larger renovations, the home improvement outlook is optimistic. Brands and retailers in this market should focus on inspiring solutions for both lifestyle enjoyment and return on investment. Additionally, understanding the generational differences in wants and needs will provide a competitive advantage in how to message these solutions.
