Couches, cabinet organizers, elegant lighting, throwing pillows, etc. – All things home goods – may be the next retail category to drive with a consumer wave. Evidence is installed that the frustrated homeowners are blocked by selling or purchasing stubbornly high prices and mortgage rates in terms of plans to move and instead investing in force in progress.

It is a clear separation from the domestic ages of parental TJKS and confirmed the newer fourth financial report by e-commerce Giant Vaifair, who stunned Wall Street with a robust and unexpectedly 5% increase in the second quarter’s revenue.

In February call with analysts, director, Ernie Herrman spoke about the aggressive plans of the company’s fleet, “with sales comp sale,” with sales comp sale, “with the sale of companies”, 4% by selling, “. The household division was praised 1,000 stores at the time, with long-term spreading plans at 1,800. The June title on the industry website homepagenews.com Declared: “The initial trucks are running TJX through unsafe times.”

A similar story takes place on Vaifair, a merchant dealer, whose income and profit was 2020, reached the peak in 2021. years, but they have been flattened since. The latest financial report of $ 12 billion in the last 12-month income was a significant exit from the side sample in the last two plus years. TJKS, predominantly retail department, reported that the sale of divisions of domestic trucks for fiscal 2025 was $ 9.4 billion.

Outlook for TJKS, Vaifair and IKEA – the biggest player in the category around the world and spreads quickly in the United States, improved accidents several competitors. Bed, bathroom and wider belly in 2023. year, closing almost 400 stores, and at home, 30 stores in the United States after recently declared bankruptcy.

Overstock, a merchant e-commercial trader now known as Beiond Inc., reported 22% revenue growth in the second quarter, but its sale is 29% for a year, and the income decreased for four years.

TJKS and Vaifair are direct competitors with one very great difference. TJKS was a retail of brick and mortar in which customers can see and touch the goods and reveal items that they did not know they wanted or needed. (TJKS tried to manage the e-commercial channel, but it recently closed it.)

On the other hand, Vaifair, on the other hand, was exclusively a trader e-merchant who just recently opened his first physical store, in Chicago. General Manager Niraj Shah told analysts that Chicago store was blossom and plan new stores Atlanta, New York and Denver.

Obviously both companies see a bright future in home goods and little miracles. The real estate market has been taught. According to the US Census in the US, the number of existing home sales in the US today is the same as at the bottom of the Great Recession in 2010. years and almost exactly the same as 30 years ago, when the population of the country was 20% less.

Meanwhile, mortgage rates are significantly above the so-called 6% “sweet place” for experts to say they will start resting on the market. But that Meril may not mean much when you think about how overrated homes are overrated when they adapt to inflation.

According to federal reserves, the middle price of one family home in 2009. year it would be 221,000 USD, which would be adjusted for inflation, today would be 333,000 dollars. Instead, the middle price today is $ 411,000, a premium of 23% in relation to inflation. Correcting that size in prices would erase trili in net worth of household values.

It would be difficult to construct a scenario in which the home and accessible crisis solves soon, especially in the context of economic uncertainty, which was ordinary economic forecasts.

We know that Americans spend less on travel and entertainment than they were in the past two years. This leaves open the brochure for the reassignment that redress and a nesting refresh will become a trend and probably inspire revival in the long-term art of a party house for entertainment.
