Buyers’ Remorse - Pandemic Housing

72% of recent homebuyers have regrets about their purchases. And while all homebuyers have some complaints about their homes (paint color, backsplashes, bathroom layout), this group is particularly regretful about two things:

  1. The amount they spent

  2. How quickly they had to make a decision

Any purchase should have sufficient thought put into it, commensurate with its cost. And with a home usually being your largest purchase, it’s no wonder that regret looms over those who didn’t take the prepare adequately beforehand. Some may think of a home purchase as a necessity or outside the scope of financial planning, but nothing could be further from the truth.
