Inventory shortages and high demand have forced them to rethink their priorities when shopping for a home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eighty percent of buyers say they\u2019ve had to compromise on key home features, according to the Buyer and Seller Insights Report for 2022, produced by HomeLight, a real estate referral company. The most common compromise centered on costs: Forty-eight percent of buyers say they paid more for their homes than they initially expected, the report shows. Thirty-one percent of buyers say they purchased an older home than they initially wanted, and 23% purchased a home that was in worse condition than they hoped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buyers in some markets have to compromise more than those in other areas due to varying levels of competition. For example, at least 90% of buyers in markets like San Francisco, Denver, and Sacramento, Calif., say they had to make at least one compromise on the home they purchased. By comparison, 85% of buyers in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, and Austin, Texas, say they made a compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While compromises are the norm in a seller\u2019s market, buyers also are finding obstacles while preparing to purchase a home. Affordability is the top challenge home buyers face in the current market, according to the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/research-and-statistics\/research-reports\/obstacles-to-home-buying\" target=\"_blank\">2022 Obstacles to Home Buying<\/a>, a new study released by the National Association of REALTORS\u00ae and Morning Consult.
