Home Price Expectations Survey™
Every quarter, Pulsenomics surveys a distinguished panel of over 100 economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts regarding their 5-year expectations for future home prices in the United States.

As recent years’ events have illustrated, changes in single-family home values can have profound impacts on consumer balance sheets, spending patterns, investor psychology, and global financial markets. Despite this, concrete information and authoritative opinion regarding expected future home prices tends to be sporadic and diffuse.
These survey data and our panelists stimulate constructive debate among consumers, institutions and policy makers regarding expected future changes in home prices - and their behavioral, policy, and risk management implications.

In the latest edition of the Home Price Expectations Survey, Pulsenomics also invited members of the expert panel to share their views re:
- The strength of this spring's home selling season relative to last year
- The factors expected to be most and least supportive of existing home sales during the current spring selling season
- Expectations for existing single-family home starts over the remainder of 2026
- How the slowdown in population growth will impact the pace of single-family home construction over the next 5 years
The Pulsenomics® Crystal Ball Awards
Every year, we look back to compare our panelists' expectations to actual price changes recorded via the survey's benchmark index. We honor the experts whose forecasts prove most accurate with the coveted Pulsenomics Crystal Ball Award.
