Every month, Fannie Mae's Home Purchase Sentiment Index asks Americans how they feel about the housing market and economy. Their survey asks whether participants expect home prices and mortgage rates to rise or fall over the next year, whether it's a good or bad time to buy or sell a house, and how they feel about the economy and their own personal financial situation. In July, the survey showed an increasing number of Americans feel secure in their jobs but uncertain about the direction of the economy. Because of this, housing numbers took a turn, with the number of Americans who think it's a good time to buy or sell a house both falling. Doug Duncan, Fannie Mae's senior vice president and chief economist, said the decline among people who think it's a good time to sell was surprising. “It's clear that high home prices are a growing challenge helping to send buying sentiment to a record low,” Duncan said. “However, we find the notable decline in selling sentiment surprising.” With buyer demand high and the number of available homes for sale low in many markets, many consider this an excellent time for homeowners to sell, which explains why the decline comes as a surprise. Luckily for people in Eastern, NC, there are many new homes being built and people are putting homes up for sale. This has helped with the housing market in this area and has made it a popular area to live in.
