63% Say Their Home’s Worth More Now Than When They Bought It
Homeowners remain upbeat about their home’s appreciation.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 63% of American Homeowners think their home is worth more than when they bought it. That's up another point from July’s three-year high of 62%. Prior to that, this finding has run in the mid- to high 50s since 2012. Sixteen percent (16%) now say their home is worth less than when they bought it, while 19% think its value is about the same. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
