California, Texas, and Florida accounted for over 20% of U.S. remodeling activity in early 2026, with California leading at $22.2 billion. Despite rising costs and interest rates slowing growth, remodeling expenditures rose over 10% from 2023 to 2025. Growth is expanding beyond major markets, driven by aging homes and increased homeowner equity. The number of remodeling firms has nearly doubled since 2000, supporting continued industry expansion.

Hybrid work has reshaped US offices, pushing investors to consider conversions, specialized spaces, flexible models, and hands-on repositioning instead of passive, traditional leasing.
Office-to-residential reuse is a leading path where transit and amenities already exist, though deep floor plates, plumbing, HVAC, and design hurdles require due diligence.
