Strategic Planning Should be Part of Hobe Sound Home Remodeling

Strategic Planning Should be Part of Hobe Sound Home Remodeling

 Hobe Sound real estate in Martin County FL

The number of households belonging to older adults is on the rise across the nation, and (let’s face it) the homes themselves aren’t getting any younger. So states the Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies’ Housing Perspectives (JCHS), which recently published the projection that, if true, makes it likely that Martin County home remodeling activity will spike in the coming years.

Abbe Will, research analyst for JCHS drew this conclusion:

“Since much of the housing stock is currently ill-equipped with even basic accessibility features, older homeowners aging in place will need to invest in retrofitting their homes in order to age comfortably and safely.” In other words, even for homes which remain in their owners’ hands, home remodeling activity could grow markedly.

Home remodeling is no minor industry. Home improvement expenditures by older homeowners already topped $90 billion in 2013—making it a significant economic contributor. Now the JCHS projects that it could surge by an extra $17 billion annually over the next three years. Welcome news indeed for the construction and design industries, who had been in the doldrums until recently.

But what does this mean for Hobe Sound homeowners who plan to sell in the near future? When considering a remodel, if you want your home to attract potential older buyers, consider the innovations modern designs have made for individuals in that demographic group. That will be the competition.

JCHS’s analysis notes, “… not even a third of (existing) homes have what could be considered basic accessibility features, such as a no-step entry and bedroom and full bathroom on the entry level.” Both young and old can appreciate other features, as well. Wider hallways in a kitchen remodel is one example. Another is bathrooms showers with ‘edgeless’ design, which holds appeal both to Millennial buyers (for the sleek, modern look) and to seniors with limited movement. A bedroom on the main level that can readily be converted to a master if needed can be attractive to older homeowners—and also to anyone looking for a guest or au-pair suite. Investing wisely by thinking long-term when it comes to home remodeling plans is part of strategic home ownership. If you are considering selling your Hobe Sound home at some point, it doesn’t hurt to inform yourself about forward-looking trends.

Wondering what today’s buyers are looking for? I’m here to help with all your Martin County real estate-related concerns: call me anytime this summer!
