Home Owners and DIY Projects<\/p><\/div>\n

Many homeowners are attracted to do-it-yourself home projects, particularly members of younger generations, according to the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae\u2019 \u201c2019 Remodeling Impact Report: DIY<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0In fact, homeowners may even be happier when they DIY\u00a0than when they hire a professional to handle\u00a0a project.<\/p>\n

Homeowners reported a \u201cjoy score\u201d of 9.9 for projects they do themselves (joy scores range from 1 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater joy). Projects completed by professionals rate slightly below, with a 9.6 joy score. Homeowners who take on projects themselves report a greater sense of accomplishment with a finished project, too.<\/p>\n

The top reason homeowners who participated in the survey cited for undertaking a DIY project is increasing the\u00a0functionality and livability of the home. That’s\u00a0followed by increasing the home\u2019s aesthetics or adding durable, long-lasting materials and appliances, the survey found.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the pleasures of home ownership is the ability to take on projects to customize a house that truly make it your own,\u201d says John Smaby, NAR\u2019s president.<\/p>\n

Nearly three-fourths of Generation Y and millennials, as well as more than half of Generation X and baby boomers, choose to do DIY home projects.<\/p>\n

Consumers are more likely to take on a DIY\u00a0project for a pet than to undertake a general home project on their own, according to the survey. The most popular pet-driven renovations were fence and laminate floor installation, and the addition of dog doors.<\/p>\n
