Market Metrics
Construction alteration and repairs have increased sharply since 2000 and track the general surge on construction overall in the U.S. The low interest rate and relatively easy availability of credit fueled this rapid growth. Homeowners often tapped the value of home equity to make further home improvements and repairs during the period. This environment has largely stopped by mid 2007 as interest rates have risen and credit availability has been curtailed.
The U.S. Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce announced that expenditures for improvements and repairs of residential properties in the second quarter 2007 were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $226.7 billion. This estimate is 4.3 percent above the revised first quarter 2007 estimate of $217.3 billion. Spending on maintenance and repairs was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $58.0 billion in the second quarter 2007; improvements amounted to $168.7 billion.
Recent Trends and Developments
Expenditures for home improvement and repair increased fairly steadily in the 1990s. Spending for this type of work tends to be less volatile than that for new construction, and the growth has been somewhat greater over the long term. This trend is expected to continue into the twenty-first century. The stock of housing will grow larger and older, and sales of existing homes will continue to increase.
Nonresidential repair and renovation markets probably will continue to grow in 2000 and for the next 5 years. Electric utilities in particular are likely to increase their maintenance and repair expenditures substantially. Investment in nonresidential building improvements will remain at high levels as the owners of commercial buildings attempt to keep their buildings attractive in the competitive rental markets. A side effect of the turmoil in the retailing industry will be massive remodeling of existing stores.
