According to the survey "53 percent of those surveyed agree now is a good time to renovate a home." Indeed, the high majority of that is on the West Coast, in markets like Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle and San Diego. Although it's only 53%, the survey also puts it into proper context:  in comparing the results from 2013 to 2012, they saw an 8% decrease in people who want to delay their home improvement projects and of those surveyed, 48% want to renovate in the next two years.That means good things in terms of how confident people are about remodeling their homes.

The survey also comments on the state of the housing market itself. According to the survey "Seventy-five percent of U.S. homeowners surveyed also think now is a good time to buy a home, with confidence strongest in the Midwestern and Western regions of the country. " This is exciting news, because it shows that there is a trend of confidence growing among st home owners. In fact, homeowners are taking advantage of the confidence level by enhancing their kitchens and bathrooms, which, combined, make up to 51% of all planned renovations. In fact, more than half (54%) of all home owners surveyed report that selling their home is the primary motivation for home remodeling.

Not only that, a large number of home owners surveyed reported the need to have a more efficient home, such as better energy use, water conservation, and implementing newer technologies into their homes.

Over all the outlook is incredibly positive for both home re-modelers like US Home Developers, home owners who are looking to sell their home soon, and home owners who want to enhance the look and feel of their home, with better technology or efficient design.
