Survey Finds Americans Ready To Sell

The American housing market is a constantly changing landscape, and keeping track of all the moving pieces can be daunting for homeowners and potential buyers alike. Fortunately, Fannie Mae's monthly Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI) offers a snapshot of current affairs. Based on a survey of Americans, the HPSI asks participants for their perception of the housing market, including where they think home prices and mortgage rates are headed, how secure they feel in their job and financial situation, and whether or not they believe now is an excellent time to buy or sell a home.
The latest HPSI results, released in May, indicate that Americans feel less optimistic due to affordability. However, respondents have a growing sense that now is the right time to sell a home. According to the survey, selling sentiment increased eight percent from the previous month. This is good news for homeowners considering putting their homes on the market.
Despite the positive sentiment around selling, respondents still feel the effects of higher home prices and mortgage rates. Mark Palim, Fannie Mae's vice president and deputy chief economist, says the survey found respondents high on selling but hesitant about buying. "As we near the end of the spring home buying season, the latest HPSI results indicate that affordability hurdles, including high home prices and mortgage rates, remain top of mind for consumers, most of whom continue to tell us that it's a bad time to buy a home but a good time to sell one," Palim said.
