The Leading Indicator for Remodeling Activity published by Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies expects slight declines in remodeling activities through the third quarter of 2008..
The LIRA projects a 1.6% dip in the first quarter of this year, a 0.9% downturn in the second, and a 2.6% decline in the third.
“An expanding economy has helped cushion the remodeling market,” says Kermit Baker, director of the Joint Center's Remodeling Futures Program. “Absent a more serious national downturn, remodeling activity is expected to see only modest declines in 2008.”
