2006-‐2012 Home Repair Search Review
2013 Home Improvement Forecast
• Forecast is for greater spend on exterior building products. • HeaCng, cooling and appliances aren’t expected to share in the
$14 billion in 2013 growth. 2
Hurricane Sandy will kick the forecast higher!
Air condiCon trends
• Window unit search has been significant over the last 3 years. • Window units appear to be the stop gap measure for
homeowners delaying CAC purchase.

Furnaces
• Search for “furnaces” sets a lower 2012 peak level than experienced in 2011 despite a colder winter.
• Unexpected highest “rising search term” is “furnaces for sale”.
• Further invesCgaCon into whether this is a search for “used” or discounted furnaces is warranted.
4
Hot Water
• Hot water heaters appear to be improving and preparing to breakout to a higher level of interest.
• I peeked into January data and see a huge spike in search associated with gas tankless water heaters.
• Warrants more data to see if the trend holds.
5
Appliances
• Federal EE rebates drained 2011 and 2012 sales. • Top brand name is GE. • Electrolux is top “rising” brand search.
6
Windows
• Window search intensity has dropped below recent lows. • Further observaCon will determine if we’re seeing a reversal
in trend in between building shell and infrastructure purchases.
7
Doors
• Doors and windows appear to be breaking down together. • This is counter intuiCve given the expected home
improvement strength for 2013.
8
Roofing
• Roofing search demand remains steady even with an increase in new home construcCon.
9
InsulaCon
• 5of the top 10 search terms are related to foam insulaCon.
10
Faucets
• Trend trying to fla\en. • Annual peak established in January/February of the year. • Need to see q1 data to determine the strength for the year.
11
Sinks
• Q1 2012 was a very strong rebound for sinks. • The category has fla\ened from its downward trend. • Category search highs occur in the first quarter of the year. • If strength in sinks conCnues, I expect faucets to fla\en and
improve as well. 12
