New Resource Estimates Quarterly Remodeling Spending by State
The National Association of Home Builders is debuting a new resource called the State Projections of Remodeling. Based on a proprietary model developed by NAHB, the SPR on a quarterly basis provides a state-level estimation of the market share and total dollar value of remodeling spending.
The SPR is a statistical model designed to use national quarterly improvement spending data and estimate remodeling market share by state using multiple indicators and NAHB’s annual state remodeling forecast.
The first edition of the SPR shows that California is the top state for remodeling based on total share, garnering nearly 8% of the market. The top five states, broken down by market share and dollar volume for the fourth quarter of 2025, are:
- California: 7.9%, or $22.11 billion
- Texas: 7.0%, or $19.7 billion
- Florida: 5.5%, or $15.3 billion
- New York: 3.9%, or $11.0 billion
- North Carolina: 3.0%, or $8.4 billion
With respect to market growth, the SPR reveals these five states had the largest change in remodeling spending:
- Michigan: up $965.1 million (+15.9%)
- Virginia: up $631.6 million (+9.6%)
- North Carolina: up $601.6 million (+7.6%)
- Ohio: up $600.0 million (+8.6%)
- Alabama: up $445.5 million (+12.0%)
