In a September 2020 survey among adults in the United States, over half of respondents said that their interest in buying a home had not changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic (56 percent). However, Hispanic respondents were more likely to have changed their plans (33 percent) compared to white respondents (16 percent).
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 had 1,863 respondents, of which 1,279 white, 397 Hispanic, 397 black and 218 of another ethnicity.
