Lower interest rates beat out tax credits, easier lending standards, and increased home construction according to a new Redfin survey<\/i><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Interest rates<\/a> are currently at historic lows, but 66% of first-time homebuyers would like them to be even lower according to a new survey conducted by Redfin. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"What<\/span><\/p>\n

The three most popular government actions among first-time homebuyers\u2014lowering interest rates, providing tax credits, and easing lending standards\u2014would all make homebuying more affordable in the short-term, but none would directly address the long-term shortage of affordable homes. Only 24% of respondents would like the government to encourage more home construction, even though it could increase the number of affordable homes for sale in the long-term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First-time homebuyers with household incomes under $100,000 were the most in favor of lower interest rates, with 69% selecting the option. Recently, the Federal Reserve Bank (which isn\u2019t technically a branch of the government, but does set United States monetary policy) lowered interest rates in an effort to keep the economy growing. But, the Fed has acknowledged that the <\/span>economic expansion hasn\u2019t benefited everyone equally<\/span><\/a>, and low-income families have been especially left behind. Chairman Powell stated in the past that the strength of economic indicators, \u201cmask important disparities by income, race, and geography.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

Across all race-groups, first-time homebuyers are in favor of lower interest rates, but that\u2019s especially true among Black homebuyers, with 75% saying that government intervention would make it easier to buy a single-family home. Black Americans <\/span>increasingly struggle to break into homeownership<\/span><\/a>, likely a result of the surging affordability crisis, which has been <\/span>disproportionally hitting Black families<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Methodology<\/span><\/h2>\n

Redfin commissioned a study in December 2019 of more than 3,000 U.S. residents who bought or sold a primary residence in the last year, or plan to in the next 12 months. More than 600 survey respondents identified as first-time homebuyers and were asked what they thought the government could do to make it easier to buy a first-time home.<\/span><\/p>\n
