In Georgia, remodeling firms can count on burgeoning numbers of relatively well-heeled retirees who are likely to spend aggressively for home improvements. Aging-in-place remodeling projects also will be an increasingly important source of growth.  The remodeling industry will benefit from the fact that existing home values in Georgia will hold relatively steady, with no signs of widespread overvaluation.

The market for retirement housing should be less vulnerable to tighter credit standards and stands to benefit from higher numbers of incoming retirees.
