Instead of selling their houses, Kiwis are choosing to renovate instead. Home renovations are up as homeowners are turning their backs on the property market. Many would rather upgrade their homes rather than to take risks. They fear that it will be difficult to find another home if they choose to give up their current one.
Collectively, New Zealanders has spent nearly $1.5 billion in home renovations in 2015, compared to the $940 million in 2012. This is a significant increase in the number home renovations – it jumped by nearly 30% in the past three years.
Data gathered by the Certified Builders Association shows that one of the most common forms of renovations include home expansions. Kiwis are choosing to add new rooms and bathrooms to increase the value of their properties. To add a garage or a new bedroom requires extensive excavations – as such, the demand for heavy equipment also increased.
