Kitchen remodels lead the way

Kitchens rank as the most expensive (and most popular) room to renovate for homeowners. This was the key finding from the 2019 Houzz & Home Study.¹ Here are the numbers:

• The median cost of a kitchen renovation jumped 27% to $14‚000. Guest (17%) and master bathroom (14%) remodels also increased.
• Among the 50 largest metro areas‚ half saw a drop in renovation spending‚ including Boston.
• The typical homeowner who plans to renovate this year expects to spend $10‚000 – in line with spending for the previous three years.
• Baby Boomers and Generation Xers make up 81% of renovating homeowners.
