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.

"Bank of America uses the average forecasts of economists surveyed [by Pulsenomics] to help create its internal housing projection."

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 invited members of the expert panel to share their views re:

        • The mortgage rate outlook
        • The durability of the mortage rate lock-in effect
        • The most consequential structural force shaping the U.S. housing market over the next five years
