Russians began to make repairs more often: why, and how much they are willing to spend

Despite the fact that the situation in the world remains quite difficult, and we have long been "bending" under Western sanctions, the demand for repairs in Russia in the first quarter of this year increased by as much as 20%. A study conducted by the SberUslugi and SberInsurance services clearly showed that our fellow citizens are ready to spend money on repairs, despite the “shouts” about prices and complaints about falling incomes of individuals.

There is definitely no doubt about the relevance of the study of the largest services. The pool of users there is wide and completely covers all segments of the population. This means that the data obtained can be considered as a close to real cut of the domestic consumer society. And, as it turned out, on average, Russians are ready to spend around a million rubles on apartment renovation: 706 thousand for cosmetic, and 1.1 million for capital repairs.

The figures are quite correlated with the market: during the period under review, residents of new spent an average of buildings about 1.2 million, and happy owners of secondary housing - 853 thousand. At the same time, the average amount of a loan taken for these "pleasures" amounted to 1.13 million rubles. for the former, and 676 thousand for the latter.

Every second consumer has grown to order a design project. And this is already pleasing. Why should you not do repairs without it - we told here. In addition, people are becoming more accustomed to using the services of professionals and prefer official contractors. However, it is still far from all. By the way, for some reason, owners of secondary housing turned out to be wiser here - they hire pros in 53% of cases. But the owners of new buildings are still lagging behind them, and still trust those acquired by overwork to those from whom it is impossible to ask later - only 47% of this category turned to specialists.

It would seem that this relatively “dry” statistics gives us? In fact, a rather vivid picture: the modern consumer is used to living in comfort and receiving quality services. And unprofessional brigades of coven workers are slowly but surely losing the market to conscious performers who work several orders of magnitude better. Restroymaster, as a professional contractor, this trend cannot but rejoice.

Well, and one more simple conclusion from the study, which should have a positive impact on fellow citizens: no matter who is there and what they say, the average spending on comfort is a very bright marker of the purchasing power of society. Because it's very difficult to think about renovating an apartment if there's nothing for dinner but Doshirak for a long time. But, this is not quite our story anymore ... We are talking about the fact that if “stars light up”, then they are in demand in society and accessible to people. In short, you give a new renovation in each apartment, and there is nothing to argue about!
