In this video interview, Home News Now Editor-in-Chief Tom Russell speaks with industry research expert Dana French about this season’s consumer research. Sponsored by American First Finance, it offers a timely perspective from consumers who have recently purchased a home and those looking to buy a home in the next several months. The good news is that furniture is at the top of their purchasing plans for the first year they are in their new homes, followed by appliances, kitchen cabinets and countertops, lighting fixtures and paint/wallpaper. The survey also looks at current interest rate levels and how they will influence consumer home-buying decisions now and in the future. For more insights into this research along with the types of furniture that people plan to buy and how much they plan to spend, click on the video link below.
