Since the start of the pandemic, more than half of homeowners made improvements to their property, according to Hippo, which noted 71% said they’d continue making the same amount of home improvements moving forward.

Not surprising given the rise in remote work, 52% of homeowners said they bought office equipment and 35% spent money on living room décor, the insurer reported.
