Americans' Attitudes Toward the Housing Market Reflect Steady but Slow Recovery, "Normal" Housing Levels Still a Ways Off
PR Newswire - Mon Jul 07, 8:00AM CDT
Consumer confidence in the housing market has trended upward significantly during the recovery but continues to be less than needed to return to "normal" housing levels, according to results from Fannie Mae's June 2014 National Housing Survey. On average, consumers' 12-month home price change expectation remained in positive territory in June at 2.4 percent but dipped slightly from the previous few months, likely in response to a lackluster housing picture in the first half of the year. Additionally, the share of respondents who expect mortgage rates to go up in the next year increased six percentage points to 55 percent in June following a gradual decrease since February. While consumers appear positive overall and are trending in that direction, some survey and market indicators reflect a more subdued housing market, underscoring that the recovery continues but is not yet robust.
