Fannie Mae Survey Reveals Troubling Trend Among Homebuyers
The Federal National Mortgage Association, commonly known as Fannie Mae, released the October edition of its Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI) on Thursday. HPSI is considered one of the most comprehensive attitudinal surveys of U.S. homebuyers.
In October, HPSI declined 2.7 points to 88.8, representing a further retreat from the record high set in August. Although Fannie's report struck an optimistic tone, alleging that "home purchase sentiment remains robust," more Americans reported that now is a bad time to buy a home.
Only a fifth (21%) of Americans said now is a 'good time to buy' real estate, a full 7 percentage point drop from September levels. The percentage of Americans who say now is a 'good time to sell' declined to 41% from 44% previously.
