What is New Homeowner Upgrades?

New homeowners quickly discover projects they want to tackle— whether cosmetic updates, layout changes, or necessary fixes. This play connects you with buyers in their first year of ownership, positioning you as the go-to contractor to personalize and improve their new space.

The Right Audience

Homeowners who purchased within the last 3–12 months, especially in homes built before 2010 or valued above the local average. Focus on owner-occupied properties where new residents are more likely to invest in improvements.
