“Remodeling activity is healthy,” said Matt Morrow, Chief Executive Officer of the HBA of Greater Springfield. “Residential remodeling showed modest gains during the second quarter of 2009 with increases in all indicators, according to the latest National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Remodeling Market Index (RMI). And, there are tax incentives right now for those interested in upgrading certain energy efficient appliances and equipment.”

In the Midwest, the remodeling index climbed from 36.1 to 38.3. All measures for future expectations in the remodeling market increased significantly nationwide. Remodelers reported growth in calls for bids at 38.8 (up from 34.2 in the first quarter).
