Neil Freiman和Toby Howell分析了低迷的房地产市场对Home Depot和Lowe's等家居装修公司销售额的影响。他们指出，高利率和疫情期间的提前消费导致市场需求疲软，Home Depot和Lowe's的销售额持续下降，且对未来预期不乐观。他们还讨论了Wayfair等其他家居相关公司的困境，以及美国消费者行为的复杂性。
Toby Howell补充说明了高利率下，人们倾向于维修旧房而非购买新房的现象，但这只是暂时的。他认为，疫情期间的提前消费是导致目前市场低迷的主要原因。他还比较了家居装修行业与其他消费领域的差异，指出尽管家居装修市场低迷，但其他消费领域，例如沃尔玛，却表现强劲。
