The NAHB/Westlake Royal Remodeling Market Index dropped to 59 in the second quarter of 2025, reflecting a slight decline in remodeling activity amid economic uncertainty and high interest rates. The Current Conditions Index fell to 66, with small and mid-sized projects seeing the biggest declines, though all project types remain in positive territory. Future expectations also dipped, as the backlog of jobs shrank, but remodelers still report steady leads and overall market confidence remains above neutral.
