Although many Americans have began to notice the improvement in the housing market, confidence in the general economy and personal finances continues to decrease. This is based on the results of June?s National Housing Survey from Fannie Mae and also outlines that current economic conditions have began to diminish their beliefs regarding the status of their personal finances.? Record low interest rates and lower prices of homes in the U.S. has been the source of influence for those excited about the growth in the housing market.

An economist of Fannie Mae shared that although consumers are still weary of the status of our economy, the mental outlook on the housing market in the United States has began to thrive. If the condition of the economy declines, it may have an effect on the outlook of consumers in the real estate market.? Regardless of the state of the economy as a whole, with the cost of rent risings, record low interest rates for home loans and low housing prices, now is an excellent opportunity for those interested to buy.
Respondents from the survey conducted by Fannie Mae expect home prices in the United States to increase by 2% within the next year. 35% of those surveyed believe that home prices will increase which is the highest percentage gathered since the beginning of the survey two years ago. The amount of those surveyed who indicated that they would purchase a home if they were forced to move has increased by 6% which is also the high percentage recorded since the survey was conceived in June of 2010.

36% of respondents believe that the economy is on the way to recovery and 57% of those surveyed indicated that they believe the economy is still declining. 42% of Americans believe that their financial conditions would not change and would remain the same.?
