Price (56%) is more important than location (50%) to surveyed consumers when choosing a home, according to the latest nationwide survey from Coldwell Banker Real Estate, an AnywhereSM (NYSE: HOUS) brand. It also finds that women value price more than men 60% to 48%, respectively. This bucks the real estate industrys oldest advice, setting new stakes for this years market.The data further reveal that the dream of home ownership is still alive and well: Of consumers who purchased a home last year, 31% did so because they found their dream home. Additionally, of homeowners who plan to sell their homes in the future, 66% say they plan to move to either a different city, state or country.While many consumers made their dream home purchase last year, the data show that some desire to seek new horizons, said Jason Waugh, president of Coldwell Banker Affiliates. For those still looking for their dream home no matter their price range, whether nearby or afar I encourage them to contact a real estate agent for local advice and context. The Coldwell Banker brand equips its global network of affiliated agents with tools and technology, including the Move Meter, where consumers can compare where they live to anywhere else.Additional key points emerge from the data, in terms of market sentiment, social media, ideal home preferences and financial dynamics, revealing the dreams and desires shaping the U.S. real estate landscape.Market SentimentA majority of consumers surveyed (56%) believe that the real estate landscape will either improve or remain the same in 2024 compared to the previous year. Additionally, the data indicates:Consumers who plan to sell their home in the future would be more likely to move to a different city after they sell their home now (39%) than in 2022 (19%).Keeping up with the Joneses 43% of consumers surveyed have been somewhat influenced or highly influenced by social media in their desire to purchase a particular type of home. Compare this to the findings from luxury consumers, with 73% of them saying the same. Other social insights include:Social media significantly influences home preferences for 64% of consumers aged 18-24, compared to a mere 16% of those aged 55 and above.Consumers surveyed who have been influence by social media in their desire to purchase a particular type of home aged 18-24 are most likely to have been influenced by TikTok (68%) in their decision to purchase the preference in the type of home they desire, while consumers aged 55 and above are most likely to have been influenced by Facebook (54%).This suggests a substantial role that platforms like TikTok, Instagram or other social media channels play in shaping homebuyers desires. This signals the need for a strong online presence and strategy. Ideal Home Preferences Across the nation, respondents each have their own version of the ideal home location, design and size, with no one-size-fits-all formula arising from the data.Almost a third of respondents (32%) said their ideal home is located in the South, while a quarter said its in the Northeast (24%).Almost half (49%) of consumers surveyed said their dream home size is mid-sized: 3-4 bedrooms and 2-3 bathrooms.While Ranch comes out on top (13%) for dream home design style with Modern Contemporary (11%) right behind, more respondents said they preferred no style in particular (16%). Financial Dynamics Shift Parental contributions to their childrens home purchases differ among generational and racial groups.Over a quarter (26%) of surveyed consumers have not provided or do not plan to provide financial support for their child(ren)s first home.Younger respondents (aged 25-34) are more likely (49%) to consider providing such support compared to those aged 55 and above (23%).Black Americans (46%) and American Indian or Alaska Natives surveyed (49%) exhibit a higher willingness to financially support their childrens home purchases.58% of consumers agree with the statement I consider my home as an asset that I would pass along to my child(ren). Navigating the Future As the industry adapts to diverse dynamics, real estate professionals become even more vital guides.
