A recent survey by Redfin reveals a notable trend among homebuyers, indicating that financial strategies are evolving as market conditions shift. Approximately 13% of homeowners reported selling stocks to bolster their down payment funds. This marks a significant change in how individuals are approaching home financing, suggesting that equity in the stock market is being leveraged to facilitate real estate purchases. The survey underscores a growing trend where investments in the stock market are seen as resources to navigate the rising costs associated with homebuying.
Key findings from the survey include:
