Good News for Remodeling

According to Market Watch, the end of 2009 showed an uptick in remodeling. Requests for home additions and remodeling projects were up 110% in Miami compared with the previous year. Requests for kitchen remodeling were up 166% in Phoenix, 120% in Chicago and 112% in San Jose. This is a hopeful sign that things may be slowly turning around. Considering how the industry barely has a pulse, even a slight gain in sales would translate into a huge percentage increase, so it's important to take this still hopeful information with a grain of salt. That said, its sure good to hear good news for a change!
