Stimulus checks are fueling home improvement, new data finds

Her Branford, Connecticut, home now boasts a new set by Speed Queen that comes with a five-year warranty and costs a little over $2,000—about 85{28ab41d673507bfe0daf970418d2e81f9476b3e139564442359ad7402c370b16} of the $2,400 her household received.

Hidden in a small cul-de-sac in Memorial Glen, the older home with a plain brick courtyard wall and heavy gate didn’t seem like much at first glance. Heather Willard knew, though, from her days delivering a neighborhood newsletter, that the 1960s home that lay beyond the ivy-covered privacy wall was special, a midcentury gem with a little history of its own. Hurricane Harvey had flooded much of Memorial Glen — and nearby Memorial Bend — and badly damaged this home, too.
