Today, many real estate conversations center on housing prices and where they may be headed. That is why we like the Home Price Expectation Survey.
Every quarter, Pulsenomics surveys a nationwide panel of over one hundred economists, real estate experts and investment & market strategists about where prices are headed over the next five years. They then average the projections of all 100+ experts into a single number.
The results of their latest survey
- Home values will appreciate by 4.3% in 2015.
- The cumulative appreciation will be 19.4% by 2019.
- That means the average annual appreciation will be 3.6% over the next 5 years.
- Even the experts making up the most bearish quartile of the survey still are projecting a cumulative appreciation of 11.8% by 2019.
Individual opinions make headlines. We believe the survey is a fairer depiction of future values.
Keep in mind these are nationwide projection. Orange County and Southern California in general do better than most markets out there because we are a financial hub and hey, everyone wants to live in Sunny So Cal.
