Proportion of people who have been influenced by rising housing prices in their decision to move or not move, by age, 2022. Deciding to move or not to move includes: "I wanted to buy a home or move to a new rental, but did not because of rising prices" or "I purchased a home or moved to a new rental sooner than planned, or chose a more affordable option, because of rising prices (e.g., purchasing a house or moving to a new rental before prices potentially rise more, downsizing to a more affordable house or rental)."
