"While majorities of adults say the election results do not influence their decision to buy or sell a home, among adults who are swayed by the outcome, a clear partisan pattern has emerged," says Realtor.com Chief Economist Danielle Hale. "This is mostly driven by different expectations about the economy and the impact of the new administration."
"I believe the interest rates will go down. Inflation will drop to affordable levels," said one person who responded that Trump's election increased their chances of buying a home, using a free-response section in the survey.
Another respondent noted: "Trump tends to focus on the economy and making it more acceptable for all," indicating a belief in positive economic changes driving home buying decisions.
Those who said the election results dented their homebuying prospects cited concerns about the economy and the new administration as the top reasons for their pessimism.
