Several States Drive 20 Percent of Remodel Activity
It’s fascinating to see how California, Texas, and Florida are at the forefront of home remodeling in the U.S., with California alone making up 8% of the $22.2B market. Remodeling activity has jumped over 10% from 2023 to 2025, thanks to aging homes, rising equity, and the sheer number of remodeling firms—128,000 nationwide!

Report: Majority of Metro Areas Saw Home Prices Increase in Q2
It’s always important to stay informed as our market shifts. In Q2 2026, over 80% of metro areas experienced home price increases, while the national median price rose 1.5% to $434,900. The South continues to lead the way in sales activity. Mortgage rates hovered in the mid-6% range, which is something I keep a close eye on for clients. However, inventory and affordability are still tough hurdles, especially for first-time buyers—something I see firsthand as I help families navigate these challenges. My commitment has always been to provide honest guidance and practical support through every step of the home buying or selling process. As a Neighborhood Specialist with deep roots in our local communities, I make it my mission to ensure every person feels confident and cared for, even as the market evolves.
