Why Everyone’s Just Buying Mulch Now

Home Depot’s latest numbers show folks are skipping big home makeovers and sticking to small fixes—think paint and mulch, not new kitchens. The reason? With mortgage rates back at 7% and home prices still sky-high, fewer people are buying houses or splurging on major upgrades. So, if you’re wondering why your neighbor’s just planting flowers instead of building a deck, blame the housing market freeze! Until homes get cheaper, expect more DIY touch-ups and fewer full-on renos. #HomeDepot #HousingMarket #DIY #MoneyHacks #ConsumerTrends #RealEstate
