New Multiply Mortgage Report Highlights Strong Demand for Employer-Provided Mortgage Benefits in a Difficult Housing Market
In a national survey of 1,000 full-time U.S. employees conducted in May 2025, nearly half said they live paycheck to paycheck, and a third have less than $1,000 in savings. Many feel unprepared for major financial decisions like buying a home, with few turning to professionals for support. Instead, most rely on real estate websites, agents, or advice from friends and family.
'This data confirms what we're hearing from employees and employers alike,' said Michael White, co-founder and CEO of Multiply Mortgage. 'People are under financial pressure, and homeownership feels further out of reach than ever. Employers are looking for meaningful ways to help, especially when budgets are tight. In fact, our survey found that about a quarter of employers have cut back on benefits in the past year. Mortgage benefits are one way to provide that support without adding cost.'
This financial uncertainty is not just a personal issue. It shows up at work. Employees planning to buy a home report that the process affects their productivity.
Nearly three-quarters of workers say they've spent hours each week at work worrying about, or distracted by, their housing situation.
12.1% reported that they spend more than 6 hours each week worrying or distracted.
Nearly 70% of respondents believe that mortgage support from their employer would help them stay more focused.
The demand from employees for mortgage benefits is clear.
Two-thirds of employees said they find access to lower mortgage rates through their employer to be extremely valuable.
Nearly three in four would be more likely to join a company offering this kind of support, with 23.1% going as far as to say it would be a deciding factor.
One in three employees say mortgage benefits would significantly improve their satisfaction at work, and 34.7% say these benefits would strengthen their loyalty to their employer.
At a time when compensation budgets are tight, mortgage benefits offer employers a practical, no-cost way to provide real financial value to their employees to increase employee retention and loyalty while aiding recruitment efforts.
