House & Home - Moving Stress Survey

 The housing market has no shortage of hurdles, but new data reveals that the stress of moving may be one of the biggest reasons Americans aren't buying.


A new survey from BPG Inspections takes a closer look at how Americans really feel about the moving process and the hidden pitfalls that come with it.

Key findings include:

• 38% say moving stress alone deters them from buying a new home
• 13% consider moving the most stressful life event, ranking it above divorce, job loss, and having children
• 44% have experienced a moving issue or scam
• 54% have discovered a major issue with their home after moving in

The survey also found that Americans' top anxieties when moving are issues with neighbors (46%), landlord disputes (37%), and noise problems (34%).
