Majority of home buyers and sellers want to live in a state with legal abortion, Redfin survey shows
American home buyers and sellers want to live in a state where its legal to get an abortion.
According to a new survey from Redfin, 52% of the Americans they talked with said they would either only live in such a state, or prefer to live in such a state. The remaining percentage said they didnt value the issue or wouldnt want to live in a state where abortion is fully legal.
That survey was conducted in August 2022, after the United States Supreme Court released an opinion in June that overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion ruling from 1973.
The number of American home buyers and sellers who say they want to live in a state where abortion is fully legal has increased significantly since the Supreme Court decision. According to a similar Redfin survey from 2021, 40% of Americans said they would either only live in such a state, or prefer to live in a state where abortion is legal, indicating a 12% increase from 2021 to 2022.
