Upbeat Consumers Excited about Housing!

Posted by Gatlin on

Fannie Mae’s Home Purchase Sentiment Index has soared to a high during the month of May. In the last month, statistics have shown that consumers have begun to feel more upbeat about selling their homes! After hitting an 18 month low in March, the index reached a reading of 85.3 in May. Several components in the index measures have registered great increases in last month alone. Consumers are reporting a significant increase in income compared to only a  year ago. Consumer were also very upbeat about mortgage rates decreasing over the next year. “Continued home price appreciation has been squeezing house affordability, driving a two year downward trend in the share of consumers who think it’s a good time to buy a home,” said Doug Duncan of Fannie Mae. “The current low mortgage rate environment has helped ease this pressure, and fewer than half of consumers expect rates to go up in the next year.”

It sure does seem like a great time to be in the market! Why don’t you see what The Jason White Team can do for you?
