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.
Data
In the most recent edition of the Home Price Expectations Survey, Pulsenomics also invited members of the expert panel to share their views re:
- How the resumption of student loan payments will impact:
- Household formation
- The homeownership rate
- Mortgage and rent affordability
- Mortgage delinquency
- How the median age of first-time buyers and the first-time buyer share of home purchases will evolve in the coming years
- Homeowner demand for home equity investment (HEI) contracts and institutional appetite for rated HEI-backed securities
