It’s 2 AM in the morning and you’re sitting at your kitchen table enjoying a midnight snack when you find yourself staring at your outdated kitchen wishing you could enjoy your snack at the oversized kitchen island you don’t have. You finish your snack then walk upstairs and into your primary bathroom before jumping back in bed. You then slip into your REM cycle and start immediately dreaming of the spa-like primary bathroom you’ve always wanted. If this is you, you are not alone. As we move through 2025, more and more homeowners are asking: “Is now a good time to remodel?” For us the answer is simple – yes, yes it is! But, timing for a 2025 home remodel does depend on a few key factors. Below is a breakdown to help you decide if 2025 is the right year to invest in the home you have.
1. Home Values Are Holding Strong
Despite predictions of a cooling housing market, real estate home values in many areas throughout the state remain stable or are rebounding after slight dips in recent months. Remodeling your home now could help increase your home's equity, especially when renovating high-ROI areas like kitchens, bathrooms, or energy-efficient upgrades. If selling your home in the near future is a possibility, smart renovations could help set your home apart.
2. Material Costs Are Stable
During the pandemic and its aftermath, homeowners faced skyrocketing prices for materials like lumber, tile and steel. Since then, we’ve seen material costs stabilize. And while prices are still higher than pre-pandemic levels, they are much more predictable in today’s market, making it easier to budget for your home renovation in Colorado. Additionally, while tariffs were quite a hot topic earlier in the year, we are still holding steady. Learn more about the impact tariffs may or may not have by reading our previous blog, “Tariffs & Home Remodeling – Yes, No & Maybe.”
3. Aging Homes
Aging homes often require renovation to enhance safety, accessibility, energy efficiency, appliance compatibility and comfort. That, and folks who are aging in place are focused on a home remodel that can offer comfort and accessibility as they slow down and enjoy their later years. For inventory, particularly if you are interested in selling, the gap between aging homes without home renovation and homes that have been remodeled has increased significantly. This means buyers are more inclined to purchase a home that has been remodeled than one that has not.
4. Sustainability Incentives Are Increasing
Sustainable and energy efficient improvements continue to be a smart trend in our industry. There are several federal and state level tax incentives and rebates available for energy-efficient upgrades, solar installations, and eco-friendly appliances / materials. Not only can these lower your utility bills, but they can also help offset remodeling costs and help the environment.
5. It’s a Perfect Time to Renew Your Life
Beyond home value and ROI (return on investment), lifestyle improvements tend to be a major motivator for home renovations. Not only does remodeling your home improve your mental health, it also gives you a blank canvas for personal expression – which can only make you feel incredible. Home renovations also tend to fix any safety or functional issues within the home which provides peace of mind and a level of unmatched comfort. If your home isn’t working for your current lifestyle, that’s a strong reason to remodel — and the timing to renew your life could be just right.
