After the 2026 Housing Affordability Law: Inventory, Preorder and Forecasting Moves Furniture Retailers Should Make Now

Summarize the new housing law and its likely short‑term effects on homebuying timing and consumer willingness to buy big‑ticket furniture. Provide a concise operational playbook: reforecast high‑ticket SKUs using cohort and recent-sales signals; tighten deposit/preorder mechanics for long‑lead items; run targeted clearance sequencing for at‑risk bulky inventory; adjust safety stock rules regionally; and reallocate delivery and installation capacity to manage uneven demand.
