In a September 2020 survey among adults in the United States, many respondents said that the COVID-19 pandemic did not change their interest in buying a home. Millennials were most likely to have changed their homeownership plans: 28 percent of Millennials were more interested in buying a home due to the COVID-19 pandemic compared with nine percent of Baby Boomers.
Data were weighted to approximate a target sample of adults based on age, race/ethnicity, gender, educational attainment, and region. Results from the full survey have a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage points.
The original survey question was formulated as: "Has the COVID-19 pandemic (coronavirus) influenced your interest in buying a home in the future?"
This survey question's respondents were 271 GenZers (1997-2012), 737 millennials (1981-1996), 439 GenXers (1965-1980) and 375 Baby Boomers (1946-1964).
