Has the home design market slowed down?

Designer Discussions : Remodeling Business Marketing

23-05-2024 • 25 mins

Discover the startling truth behind the investor-driven revolution in home design as we unpack the effects of private equity's stronghold on the market. With 44% of last year's home flips attributed to investors, you'll get an inside look at how this shift is not just altering the landscape of homeownership, but also redefining the value and investment we place in our living spaces. This episode peels back the layers on the surge of short-term rentals and its implications for the interior design industry, questioning whether the essence of creating a home is being lost to the lure of quick profits.

As we navigate through the ripple effects of economic uncertainty, hear from industry leaders on how rising interest rates and escalating costs are steering homeowner decisions. We offer a strategic playbook for design businesses bracing for these changes, discussing the pivot from expansive to intimate renovations and the importance of marketing to maintain a steady course through economic headwinds. Drawing on past corporate war stories like those from Kohler Company during the 2008 financial crisis, we provide guidance on how high-end clients are likely to weather this storm, ensuring you're equipped with the knowledge to adapt and thrive in this evolving market.
