The answers may rest in a home buying survey completed by mortgage marketer HSH.com. The nationwide survey asked home buyers to share any obstacles they experienced during the process.
About 80% of respondents reported having at least one of the following barriers:
- Insufficient credit score
- Insufficient down payment
- Inability to obtain financing at desired rate and terms
- High home prices
- High property taxes
- Mortgage loan approval is still difficult for many home buyers
- Home prices and home affordability remain a concern
In fact, if we were to add more reasons to the above list, we would have to include "limited home inventory in appropriate price range" and "competition from cash buyers." About 25% of all home purchases in Maricopa County are made by cash buyers, who often rent out the property.
