...tassociated economic slowdowns followed by rapid uptick in demand as the pandemic got dealt with, and the ongoing war..
Many understand that the pandemic allowed people to work offsite and work from home. This lead to a lot of folks leaving cities and moving to suburban and rural areas where housing was less expensive. Another area that demand exceeded supply was the home remodeling industry. Because people were home and not at work, people began making changes to their homes adding new rooms, changing the interiors of their homes all while installers had to safely social distance while working in the homes.
The home remodeling industry is still crazy busy because people had to wait 6, 9, 12 months before the contractor could even begin to work on their project.
