More Americans Believe Economy Headed in Right Direction By Pete Bakel Despite continued uncertainty surrounding fiscal cliff, Americans are showing increased confidence in the housing market and the direction of the economy. According to results from Fannie Mae's November 2012 National Housing Survey, such improvement bodes especially well for continued strengthening in the housing sector, which in turn is likely to support overall economic growth. "Consumer attitudes toward the economy and the housing market continue to gather momentum, with many of our 11 key National Housing Survey indicators at or near their two-and-a-half-year highs," says Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist of Fannie Mae. "On the housing front, attitudes about the current selling environment continue to improve with a significant increase in those saying it would be a good time to sell. This growing confident in a housing recovery, in addition to other factors, may reinforce growing consumer optimism regarding the improving direction of the general economy. Those indicating that the economy is on the right track has risen to 44 percent while those saying it's on the wrong track has fallen to 50 percent, the smallest gap since the survey's inception." The November survey results show significant movement across many of the indicators. The share of respondents who say now is a good time to sell a home jumped 5 percentage points in November to 23 percent - the highest level since the survey began in June 2010 narrowing the gap with those who say it is a good time to buy. The percentage of respondents who expect mortgage rates to go up increase by 4 percentage points to 41 percent. Those expecting home prices to go down within the next year also rose by 4 percentage points to 14 percent over last month, a rebound from the survey's record low in the prior month, while the share who believe home prices will go up in the next 12 months edged up to 37 percent, tying the survey high. Of note, 51 percent of respondents now say it would be easy to get a mortgage making the highest rate since the survey's inception (this survey finding is in addition to the 11 National Housing Survey indicators).
