Tools, Tech, & Trade Talk
If you work in home improvement, design, or residential construction, you already know… Georgia’s housing market isn’t slowing down anytime soon. With new builds on the rise and homeowners investing more in renovations, outdoor living, and energy upgrades, opportunity across Georgia is real—and growing fast! Which means showing up where decisions get made? That’s just smart business.
That’s why the Southern Georgia Home Show is more than a weekend walk-through. It’s where contractors, remodelers, landscapers, designers, and suppliers get face-to-face with buyers—and with each other. Whether you’re pitching services, sourcing leads, or keeping tabs on trends, this is the show for you.
What to Expect on the Floor
With 100+ vendors and a packed schedule of interactive booths and demos, the Home Show isn’t just for lookers—it’s for doers ready to make moves. Head on down to the Georgia National Fairgrounds & Agricenter in Perry August 1-3, where you can…

This event makes it easy to showcase your business and meet future clients without the pressure of a big-city expo. And since admission is free, expect steady foot traffic all weekend.
Pro tip: Register now to reserve your booth or plan your visit. It’s one of the smartest business weekends you’ll spend this summer.
Why It’s Big in 2025
In 2025, Georgia’s housing industry is gaining serious momentum—driven by rising costs, shifting homeowner behavior, and strategic reinvestment across the state. Here's what's fueling the trend:
- Energy efficiency is in demand: Georgia Power now offers rebates covering up to 50% of upgrades like attic insulation, heat-pump water heaters, and duct sealing. These pair with federal tax incentives to make green home improvements more accessible than ever!
- Remodeling is on the rise: With new housing starts down 5.1% year-over-year nationally (per April 2025 U.S. Census data), many homeowners are staying put and reinvesting in upgrades rather than navigating a tight real estate market.
- Public dollars are backing the shift: Local governments, including Fulton County, are channeling federal funds into energy-efficient rehab programs—especially for older housing stock!
- Population patterns are shifting: Fast-growing counties like Bryan, Jackson, and Forsyth have seen double-digit growth since 2020, with South and Middle Georgia also drawing interest from relocating families and first-time buyers.
For contractors, suppliers, and service businesses, this isn’t just a trend—it’s the new baseboard! Whether you're installing heat pumps or retrofitting windows, Georgia’s next wave of housing investment is being built as we speak.
