Despite higher labor and material prices, Boston-area homeowners continue to pour money into home renovations. Recent reports show the cost of home repairs and updates rose nearly 4% year-over-year in early 2025. National projections estimate renovation spending will grow to around $526 billion by next year.
📈 Why the Remodel Boom Continues
- Old architecture, new needs: Nearly half of U.S. owner-occupied homes were built before 1980, with many in Boston dating back even further. Historic homes—especially those already remodeled—continue to attract buyers and investors.
- Mortgage reality check: With 30-year mortgage rates near 7%, many homeowners are choosing to renovate instead of relocate.
- Value & comfort: Updated homes offer better energy efficiency, modern features, and improved livability—making renovations a smart long-term move.
