Fannie Mae released its February 2014 National Housing Survey Results, and expects the housing recovery to continue.
Fannie Mae said in a recent article titled, Housing Recovery Expected to Press On Despite Recent Volatility in Consumer Attitudes.
“Similar to the noisy economic and housing data published over the past few months, we’ve seen a corresponding increase in volatility in our survey results, particularly for home price expectations and perceptions about the ease of getting a mortgage,” said Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist at Fannie Mae. “Weather may have played a role, as suggested by a 6 percentage point jump over the past two months in the share of consumers who say their household expenses are significantly higher than a year ago. This response would be consistent with higher home heating costs. Despite the volatile month-to-month changes, we believe that the housing recovery is continuing, but is not yet robust.”
Watch for higher prices
As the housing recovery continues, prices will continue to go up. As a result, pulling the trigger on a home purchase or refinance could save money.
