The RealReal seems to be a better choice today due to its improving financial performance and growing customer base, according to an analysis comparing the luxury resale platform with home furnishings retailer RH. The RealReal reported fiscal 2025 revenue of nearly $692.8 million, a growth rate of roughly 15.4%, while RH posted revenue of approximately $3.4 billion, up about 8.1%. The RealReal operates an online marketplace for authenticated luxury goods on consignment and has a member base of over 40 million, capitalizing on demand for pre-owned designer items among younger consumers. RH is expanding internationally and into hospitality but faces headwinds from a soft housing market and tariffs. The analysis notes that while both target affluent customers, The RealReal's improving operating efficiency and revenue growth make it the preferred pick for 2026.
