[Report] Nearly 1 in 4 Americans Have Buyers Remorse With Current Home

As mortgage rates hit their highest point in two decades – Americans who made a pandemic-related move may have to stay put longer than expected.

A new nationwide survey finds nearly 40% of Americans moved between 2020 and 2023… and 1 in 5 regret it. One of the main reasons? Money.

• Nearly 1 in 4 regrets how much they paid for their new home and say they have buyers remorse
• Top moving regrets: unexpected costs (#1), miss old neighborhood/city (#2), miss old home (#3)
• Americans spent an average of $4,000 on unexpected repair costs while moving

Not everyone who moved in the past few years got to take advantage of the pandemic-fueled dip in mortgage rates. More than half (62%) say their rate is 6% or higher.

As for those who haven’t moved recently, it’s not for lack of trying. Nearly 1 in 3 Americans want to move, but feel trapped by their current living situation due to high interest rates.

Take a look at the full report for more insight into America’s moving regrets and desires and let me know if you can use any of the data to supplement your coverage!
