Renovate-and-stay

28% of approvals are alterations and additions, so the work here is improving homes, not replacing them, your customer is a settled owner-occupier.

Rebuild market

28% of approvals are new builds or demolitions, so knock-down-rebuild is a genuine slice here, not just extensions.

Big-ticket jobs

the typical $131k approval is about 19% of the $684k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.
