Palo Alto, Calif. -- 2018 is on track to be another solid year for home renovations, according to the seventh annual Houzz & Home survey.
The survey of nearly 150,000 respondents in the U.S. showed that more than half (51%) are planning to begin or continue renovations. Kitchens and bathrooms topped the list of interior remodels for both renovation frequency and spend in 2017, with nearly one-third of renovating homeowners tackling kitchens (31%), followed by guest bathrooms (27%). New homeowners are more likely to tackle kitchen renovations than long-term homeowners (40% and 39% of first-time and repeat buyers, respectively, versus 30% of long-term homeowners). At 24%, master bathrooms overtook living/family rooms as the third most popular room to renovate.
