Poles renovate apartments more often in pandemic

As Bartosz Turek, the chief analyst of HRE Investments notes, in the fall and spring we had a clear boom in the area of ​​renovations. Sitting at home, we just decided to take care of our surroundings. This is probably why DIY stores experienced an above-average siege, and the articles used for interior finishing were particularly popular. In response to the questions from the Mieszkanie.pl portal, it was confirmed, for example, by representatives of companies such as Leroy Merlin or PSB. What's more, PSB Group even boasted that from January to September it recorded an increase in sales in the garden and hobby category by as much as 1/4. Sales of equipment, household appliances, paints, and varnishes also increased by almost 1/5. We spent over a dozen percent more money in the cash registers of this company on tools, decorations, and electrical and lighting accessories.

The fact that we decided to raise their standard while sitting at home is also confirmed by GUS data on retail sales. From January to November, furniture, audio and video devices, and household appliances were the only category distinguished in the official survey, which recorded an increase in relation to the previous year's situation by 5 percent (in constant prices).
