Let’s see what the experts say

10. Paul Diggle, property economist, Capital Economics
“The increase in households’ confidence in the outlook for
the housing market, coupled with a gradual improvement
in the pace of the economic recovery, should drive a rise in
home sales later this year.”
Doug Duncan, chief economist, Fannie Mae
“Conditions are coming together to encourage people to
want to buy homes. Americans’ rental price expectations
for the next year continue to rise, reaching their record
high level for our survey this month. With an increasing
share of consumers expecting higher mortgage rates and
home prices over the next 12 months, some may feel that
renting is becoming more costly and that homeownership
is a more compelling housing choice.”
