As someone deeply invested in the Southwest Florida real estate market, I always keep an eye on where remodeling activity is heating up—and it’s no surprise that Florida ranks among the top three states for Q1 2026, right alongside California and Texas. California currently leads with 8% of the U.S. remodeling market, totaling $22.2 billion. What really stands out is that, even with some states experiencing negative growth, inflation-adjusted remodeling spending across the country jumped more than 10% from 2023 to 2025. Rising home equity has certainly played a big role in fueling these projects. In our region, this ongoing investment in home improvements reflects a strong commitment to property value and lifestyle upgrades—something I see every day as I help buyers, sellers, and landlords reach their goals here in Naples and throughout SW Florida.
