Renovations high up the list for home owners

According to Mortgage Choice’s 2016 Money Survey, 36.2% of homeowners said renovations were high on their agenda.   Mortgage Choice CEO John Flavell says he isn’t surprised to see such a significant percentage of homeowners looking to renovate their property over the coming year.   “Not only can renovating a home significantly improve its value, but it also allows homeowners to stay at their current address,” he said.   “Furthermore, with property prices continuing to rise across most capital cities year on year, many homeowners may believe it is cheaper to renovate their home rather than buy and move elsewhere.”   The data from Mortgage Choice supports the outlook of the Housing Industry Association, who predicted that renovation activity will increase by 0.7% in 2016 and then steadily increase in the following years.
