According to the latest data from the Fannie Mae Home Purchase Sentiment Index, shown below, a mere 14% of consumers currently believe it’s a good time to buy a home. This starkly contrasts with the increasing sentiment that it’s a bad time to buy, which has surged to nearly 80%. Over the past decade, the confidence in the housing market has drastically shifted, with a significant decline in the optimism seen in previous years. The reasons behind this sentiment could range from rising mortgage rates to economic uncertainties.
