2026 Q2 NAHB RMI

Methodology

The NAHB RMI is based on a quarterly survey of NAHB remodeler members that provides insight on current market conditions as well as future indicators for the remodeling market.

The RMI survey asks remodelers to rate five aspects of the remodeling market as “good,” “fair” or “poor.” Each question is measured on a scale from 0 to 100, where an index number of 50 indicates a higher share of remodelers view conditions as good rather than poor.

The RMI is calculated by averaging the Current Conditions Index and the Future Indicators Index.

The Current Conditions Index is an average of  three components of the market for:

  • large remodeling projects
  • moderately-sized projects
  • small projects

The Future Indicators Index is an average of two components:

  • the current rate at which leads and inquiries are coming in
  • the current backlog of remodeling projects
Participate in the RMI Survey Residential remodelers are invited to join.
