Furniture momentum slowed in October according to DOC’s latest

Furniture and home furnishings' streak of year-over-year sales gains continued in October – barely. According to the Department of Commerce's advance monthly estimates for the month – which remain behind schedule due to the fall's government shutdown – the category, which measures estimated brick-and-mortar sales, totaled an adjusted estimated $11.264 billion, which is 0.5% more than October 2024's adjusted $11.205 billion.
