Are you sick of paging through mountains of retail catalogs for home improvement ideas? Wouldn’t you rather see what “real” people’s bathrooms and kitchens and bedrooms look like? Would you like to know what your neighbors think of your own home renovation designs and projects?

IglooReview is an improved and more efficient way for like-minded home owners and enthusiasts to find one another, to share design/renovation ideas, to get timely feedback, and to hopefully increase the value of their properties over time.

According to the US Census Bureau, there are 110 million homes in the US, of which 75 million are currently owner-occupied. With the expected continued slowdown in residential real estate sales, coupled with continued falling prices of most key building materials nationwide, it is forecasted that an increasing number of home owners will choose to renovate their properties in the coming year rather than attempt to unload them in an unfavorable market. The Wall Street Journal reports that this year alone, 7.6 million kitchens and 10.9 million bathrooms will be renovated or upgraded, up over 5% from 2006. IglooReview.com will allow users to stay ahead of this trend, which is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.
