Whether you're in the process of moving or if you're simply redecorating, furnishing your home with secondhand furniture is more sustainable than buying new, it's cost-efficient, and it helps you find stand-out pieces that you may not have found otherwise. However, it can definitely be a challenge — which is why we spoke to an expert for tips and tricks on refurnishing your home with Facebook Marketplace's secondhand furniture.
We spoke with Sroka to discuss the benefits of buying secondhand, trends, and new additions to the site – keep reading for more on what she had to say.
Spring homebuying season makes a comeback - Marketplace
This time last year, a usual sign of spring was mostly missing: the “Open House” sign. But with the pandemic loosening its grip on much of the country, and vaccinations making sellers more willing to open their homes to strangers, the spring homebuying season is in full swing.
That means bidding wars and high house prices, as too many would-be buyers chase too few homes for sale. But, a little relief may be coming.
Wes Chernin and Eliza Kinrose started shopping for a house in Portland, Oregon, last September. By the time their lease expired in November, they still hadn't found one.

As of 2019, real estate accounts for 70% of household wealth in China. Part of the reason is there are limited alternative investment options for Chinese citizens.

How COVID-19 might change packaging for good - Marketplace
The $900 billion packaging industry was among the many disrupted by COVID-19. Changing consumer shopping habits increased demand for certain packaging products, such as those related to e-commerce and restaurant delivery, while decreasing demand for others.
Kai Ryssdal: I wonder if you find people paying more attention to packaging, both, you know, how it looks when it shows up on your doorstep. But also, you know, some of the not-greats. I mean, I personally, I can’t tell you how many cardboard boxes from Amazon we’ve recycled in the past 12 months, right? It’s just a mountain of stuff.
