It’s possible to track these highs and lows over time to get a sense of where the market is going based on where it’s been.

The current dive in both the remodeling and housing indexes brought on by the crisis has left many people wondering what the future will look like for both sectors. In order to understand how the market may be able to rebound, Fixr created two graphics for both the housing and the remodeling market index, which depict the trends that these two markets have taken up to since 2010.
