Redfin Survey: 59% of Recent Homebuyers Say Purchasing a House Is More Stressful Than Dating<\/b><\/p>\n

Divorce and finding a new job were the only two listed life events that a majority of respondents said are more stressful than purchasing a home.<\/i><\/p>\n

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\n(NASDAQ: RDFN) \u2014 Nearly two-thirds of recent U.S. homebuyers (59%) think purchasing a house is more stressful than dating, according to a new rep<\/a>ort<\/a> from Redfin (redfin.com<\/a>), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cGetting ghosted by your date is stressful, but purchasing a home in today\u2019s market comes with its own unique set of anxieties,\u201d said Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather. \u201cBuyers are increasingly ghosting sellers as housing costs climb, and high mortgage rates are prompting many homeowners to stay put instead of selling\u2014meaning house hunters have a record low number of homes to swipe right on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nOf the life events respondents had to choose from, there were just two that respondents found more nerve-wracking than buying a home: 57% said divorce is more stressful and 56% said finding a new job is more stressful.<\/p>\n

\nThat\u2019s based on a Redfin-commissioned survey conducted by Qualtrics in May and June 2023. The survey was fielded to more than 5,000 U.S. residents. This report focuses on the roughly 1,000 respondents who bought a home in the last year.<\/p>\n

\nWith mortgage rates at the highest level in more than two decades, many of the people moving today are relocating not because they want to, but because they have to\u2014often due to a major life event like a divorce or a new job.<\/p>\n

\nWhile the U.S. unemployment rate remains low, thousands of workers have been laid off and forced to find new jobs in the past year. Others have had to move because their employer asked them to go back to the office. One in 10 U.S. home sellers cited a return-to-office policy as a reason for their upcoming relocation.<\/p>\n

Millennials, Gen X Are Most Likely to Think Homebuying Is More Stressful Than Dating. Baby Boomers Are Most Likely to Think the Opposite.<\/b><\/p>\n

\nMillennials and Gen Xers were most likely to emphasize the anxieties of homebuying, with nearly two-thirds saying it\u2019s more stressful than dating. Baby Boomers and Gen Zers were most likely to say dating is more stressful. Baby Boomers recently overtook millennials as the largest homebuying generation, in large part because they\u2019ve spent years building home equity, making it easier to buy another home even when mortgage rates are high.<\/p>\n

\nOlder generations were most likely to emphasize the stress of divorce; 67% of Baby Boomers said divorce is more stressful than homebuying, compared with 61% of millennials and 48% of Gen Z respondents.<\/p>\n

White Homebuyers Say Buying a Home Is More Stressful Than Getting Into College. Black Buyers Say the Opposite.<\/b><\/p>\n

\nMore than two-thirds of white respondents (64%) said buying a home is more stressful than getting into college, but the results were flipped for Black respondents, a majority of whom (57%) said getting into college is more stressful.<\/p>\n

\nBlack Americans face much higher financial barriers to both homeownership and college admission than white Americans on average, and frequently face discrimination during both processes. Roughly one-quarter of Black adults say they carry student loan debt, compared with 14% of white adults. Student loan payments are resuming for millions of Americans this month as the pandemic-era pause comes to an end, which will push homeownership further out of reach for some borrowers as their monthly costs climb.<\/p>\n

Which Is More Stressful? Buying a Home or\u2026<\/b><\/p>\n
