Another 27% say they wouldn\u2019t consider selling for at least 10 years.

This report focuses on the 471 homeowners who answered the question \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When would you consider selling your current home?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d and the 267 homeowners who answered the question \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You mentioned you have lived in your house for several years and do not plan on selling soon.

For the first question, 127 baby boomers (aged 60-65), 203 Gen Xers (aged 44-59) and 141 millennial\/Gen Zers (aged 18-43) responded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fact that the lion\u2019s share of homeowners say they\u2019ll never sell is one reason new listings are below pre-pandemic levels in much of the country, though listings have started ticking up in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/existing-home-sales-rise-november\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recent months<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Homeowners who have paid off their mortgage are motivated to stay put because it means they own their home free and clear, and get to live there while paying only for things like property taxes and HOA fees. Almost as many respondents (37%) said they\u2019re not selling because they simply like their home and have no reason to move.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Affordability is another major reason homeowners are hesitant to sell. Nearly one-third (30%) of respondents said they\u2019re staying in their current home because today\u2019s home prices are too high, and 18% <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/mortgage-rate-lock-in-housing-2024\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">don\u2019t want<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to give up their low mortgage rate.
