I am often
asked where we think home prices are headed over the next year. Recently,
several groups have stepped forward and given their projections as to what
level of appreciation we can expect by the end of 2013. Here is what they said:
§ Demand Institute Study: 1.75% appreciation
§ Urban Land Institute: 2%
§ Home Price Expectation
Survey:
2.44%
§ National Assoc of
Business Economists: 2.8%
§ Wall Street Journal’s
Survey of Economists: 3.25%
All five groups are calling
for home values to rise through the end of next year. However, none are
projecting that we will hit historic annual appreciation levels (3.6%) that
existed prior to the housing bubble.
