With housing prices and mortgage rates as high as they have been recently, many homeowners are choosing to upgrade their existing house rather than look to buy a new one.
According to a LendingTree survey of nearly 2,200 U.S. homeowners, 63% plan to begin a home improvement project in 2024.
And, now that the holiday season is behind us, what better time to schedule the projects you’ve been putting off? In fact, the holidays may have reminded you that an updated kitchen would be nice for cooking meals. Maybe the current floor plan breaks up the space and doesn’t work for entertaining large groups. And, the bathrooms are another high traffic area that visitors . . . well, visit. Is it time to create a bigger bathroom? A more modern bathroom? A bathroom that improves your daily life?
While the majority of Americans are making “New Year, New You” resolutions, we can make your home look and feel like new.
Most Popular Home Improvement Projects for 2024
In the LendingTree survey, a large percentage of people are opting first for the tasks they can do themselves—and those that quickly create a pop of change. These tasks are interior painting and landscaping projects. Beyond that, when the work requires a professional, bathroom remodels are the obvious third choice.
Here’s more of the list in order of popularity and plans for the next year:
- Updating/remodeling kitchen (45%)
