Home Buyers Have No Regrets
Daily Real Estate News September 2, 2010
Most Home Buyers Have No Regrets A study from Bankrate found that 90 percent of owners do not regret buying their home. The findings also revealed improved mortgage awareness, with only 8 percent of home owners in the dark about what type of loan they have — down from 26 percent two years ago. The poll of 1,001 randomly selected home owners in August showed that 79 percent had fixed-rate financing, and this type of mortgage was used by almost 90 percent of respondents who make more than $75,000.
