Americans are turning to AI to survive a brutal housing market—37% would let it buy their next home with 'minimal human involvement'

Americans are increasingly turning to AI to navigate a challenging housing market, with 37% willing to allow AI to purchase their next home with minimal human involvement. This trend emerges as mortgage rates continue to climb, with the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage reaching 6.95% for the week ending September 17, an increase from 6.76% the previous week and 6.26% a year prior, according to Freddie Mac.

This report uniquely quantifies consumer trust in AI for major financial decisions, showing 37% would use it for home purchases, unlike previous surveys focusing on general AI adoption.
