Americans Expect Rent To Rise, Prefer To Buy Next Home

Americans Expect Rent To Rise, Prefer To Buy Next Home

| Jul 07, 2011 | Housing Market

Fannie Mae’s National Housing Survey polls 1,000 people each month to gauge consumer confidence, attitudes toward owning and renting, mortgage rates, homeownership distress, and household finances. The June survey, which asked homeowners and renters more than 100 questions, found that 44 percent of participants believe rental prices will go up while nearly half thought home prices would not significantly change. When asked if they would rent or buy their next home, two-thirds said they would buy, while 31 percent said they would rent. Consistent with previous months, more Americans expect their personal finances to improve in the next year than those that don’t, and fewer households reported declining income compared to June 2010.
