🚨US HOMEBUYER SENTIMENT HAS NEVER BEEN WORSE🚨 More than 80% of Americans believe it is a bad time to buy a house, near a record. Over the last 4 years, the percentage has soared THREEFOLD. This comes as home prices are at record highs.👇 https://t.co/SmNy8AtYqI


RH, formerly known as Restoration Hardware, reported a 15% increase in stock value following its mixed third-quarter earnings results. The company announced earnings per share (EPS) of $2.48, which fell short of analysts' expectations by $0.16, while revenue reached $811.73 million, aligning with forecasts. Despite operating in what the company described as the worst housing market in 30 years, RH raised its fiscal year 2024 revenue growth outlook to a range of 6.8% to 7.2%, up from the previous estimate of 5% to 7%. The company's total demand growth for the quarter was reported at 13%, indicating strong consumer interest despite broader market challenges. In contrast, consumer sentiment regarding home buying remains low, with over 80% of Americans believing it is a bad time to purchase a home, reflecting a significant increase in pessimism over the past four years. This sentiment coincides with record-high home prices and persistent high mortgage rates, although an index measuring consumer confidence in the housing market showed improvement in November, suggesting some adaptation to current economic conditions.
