Why Stagflation Is Reshaping the Home Renovation Market
from Stagflation Conversations with Fexingo: High Inflation, Slow Growth, and 1970s Echoes · host Fexingo
Episode 53 of Stagflation Conversations with Fexingo examines how high inflation and slow growth are hitting home renovations. Lucas and Luna break down the latest data: lumber prices up 22% year-over-year, contractor wait times stretching to six months, and the DIY boom fizzling as real wages fall. They explore why homeowners are choosing smaller projects over full gut jobs, how the 1970s remodel playbook offers lessons, and whether the market is heading for a correction. Specific numbers and real-world examples ground the conversation, from a typical kitchen reno costing $55,000 to the surprising resilience of high-end window replacements. No fluff, just concrete economics. #Stagflation #HomeRenovation #Inflation #Construction #LumberPrices #ContractorShortage #DIY #HomeImprovement #RealEstate #1970sEchoes #SupplyChain #LaborMarket #CoreCPI #PCE #PersonalFinance #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
