Americans Anxious About Homeownership Under New Tax Cuts & Jobs Act
With lots of nervousness, it turns out. According to a realtor.com® survey completed earlier this week, Americans are anxious about the tax bill’s potential effects on homeownership—and might even consider changing their plans to buy or sell a home. In an online survey of 2,324 randomly selected respondents across the U.S., a majority reported that the tax bill makes them either “concerned” (36.2%) or “very concerned” (17.2%) about being a homeowner. Put another way, less than a quarter of respondents said the bill makes them feel “positive” (15%) or “very positive” (7.2%) about homeownership.
