What's Inside

The Coresight Research weekly US Consumer Survey Insights series takes a regular temperature check on US consumers’ behaviors and sentiment, based on exclusive proprietary survey data.

This week, in addition to our usual weekly findings on consumer sentiment, activities and shopping patterns (with the latest data from our September 16, 2024, survey), we present new data on the home and home-improvement retail sectors specifically, diving into where home-furnishing and home-improvement shoppers make purchases and what they buy.

Data in this research report are our latest proprietary survey findings on:

• Whether consumers have purchased home-furnishing or home-improvement products in the past three months
• Popular retailers and product categories among home and home-improvement shoppers
• Activities that consumers have done in the past two weeks
• Where consumers have bought food and nonfood products from in the last two weeks
• What consumers have bought in-store and online in the last two weeks
• Consumers’ expectations for the economy overall and for their own personal financial situation
