As someone who’s watched Southwest Florida grow and change for decades, I find it fascinating to see Florida ranked among the top three states for remodeling activity in Q1 2026, alongside California and Texas. According to NAHB, California holds 8% of the U.S. remodeling market at $22.2B—but Florida is right there, reflecting the strong demand to update and personalize homes. What stands out is that, even with some states seeing negative growth, overall inflation-adjusted remodeling spending climbed over 10% from 2023 to 2025, fueled by rising home equity. In our area, I see firsthand how homeowners invest in renovations to boost value, comfort, and long-term enjoyment. Having grown up in Naples and learned the business from both a broker and a contractor, I know how much thoughtful updates can mean—not just for resale, but for truly loving where you live.
