A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that 62 per cent of Australia’s 13.6 million home owners did some kind of renovations in the year to September 2016. This compares with 57 per cent in the year to September 2013. The survey also shows that 43 per cent of home-owners did minor repairs/alterations in the last 12 months, while 27 per cent painted internal and/or external walls, window sills, ceilings and the like. Meanwhile, 17 per cent of home-owners spent more than $5,000 renovating or extending their home in the last year. This rises to 26 per cent for those who have been living at their current address for less than 12 months. In contrast, just 14 per cent of those who have been at the same address for five or more years have paid big bucks for home improvements.
