Homeowners in Loudon County, Va., are choosing to renovate their homes instead of moving due to tight housing inventory and discouraging mortgage rates. Across multiple homes in the area, outdated kitchens with dark cabinetry and inefficient layouts have been transformed into bright, functional spaces designed for modern living. Rather than searching for a new home, homeowners are reinvesting in the spaces they already love, improving flow, storage and long-term comfort.
“Many of the homes we work in have great bones,” said Justin Butler, owner of Klappenberger & Son in Loudoun County. “Homeowners don’t necessarily need a new address, they need their kitchen or bathroom to better match how they live today.”
