As mortgage rates drop, home buying affordability continues to grow. More consumers in the market believe that now is the right time to buy a home. Learn more on why buyers are optimistic this spring home buying season in this HousingWire article by Alcynna Lloyd.
As the housing market continues to shift in favor of homebuyers, data indicates that many Americans believe now is a good time to buy, according to Fannie Mae’s latest Home Purchase Sentiment Index.
According to the GSE’s report, sentiment spiked 5.5 points in March to 89.8. Not only does this reverse last month’s slight decline, but it also marks the highest climb since June 2018.
“A brighter housing market outlook drove this month’s increase in the HPSI – a welcome sign from consumers as we enter the spring and summer home-buying seasons,” Fannie Mae Senior Vice President and Chief Economist Doug Duncan said. “The results further corroborate the positive effect of falling mortgage rates on affordability, which we expect will help support a rebound in home sales.”
Duncan may be right, as Fannie’s index reveals increases in the “Good Time to Buy” and “Good Time to Sell” components drove the measure of consumer sentiment higher, rising by 7 and 13 percentage points, respectively.
Complementing that rise, more consumers said they now expect interest rates to fall within the next 12 months, as that component rose 7 percentage points in March alone, the report notes.
Overall, the rise of affordability paired with positive contributions from the job sector are now projected to drive housing demand even further.
“Continuing a five-month trend, the net share of consumers who believe mortgage rates will go down increased 7 percentage points amid a 35 basis-point drop in mortgage rates in March alone,” Duncan said. “Meanwhile, job confidence – little changed from last month’s survey high – also continues to support housing sentiment, while income growth perceptions firmed from both prior month and year-ago levels, potentially supporting an uptick in housing demand.”
NOTE: Fannie Mae’s Home Purchase Sentiment Index is constructed from six questions, gauging the current views and forward-looking expectations of consumers navigating the housing market.

During the springtime, families travel near and far to celebrate holidays like Easter and Passover. So, if your relatives or friends are coming to town, here are some tips on how to prepare for guests:
The Guest Room
Making travel arrangements can leave people worn and tired, that’s why the first room you need to prepare is the guest room. If you have a devoted space for guests, make sure it has all the guest room essentials. First, you will need a bed with clean sheets. Your guest room should have a bed large enough to accommodate your guest(s). Add small touches like clocks, wastebaskets, a full-length mirror, an iron, tissues, and extra sheets and blankets to make guest rooms feel more comfortable and accommodating. Extra storage for your guests’ clothing and items can also transform how they feel about their stay. Instead of living out of a suitcase, your friend or relative has a designated area in the closet or a dresser for their personal things, making them feel more at home.
The Bathroom
Everything should be sparkling clean for your guests. Leave a set of clean towels and washcloths in the bathroom so guests don’t have to search through your closets to find them. If you want to go above and beyond, you can leave upscale toiletries so your guests don’t have to worry about having toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner.
Common Spaces
In the kitchen, you should leave labeled snacks and food for guests. If they get hungry, you want your guests to have something just for them that they can eat. Taking careful consideration of your guests’ food preferences can help them feel welcomed and at ease. If you have kids, adding extra people to your home can make it feel chaotic and stifling. To counteract this feeling, make sure all your common spaces are free of extra clutter. Be sure kids’ toys and essentials are put in their proper storage areas.
Having guests over should be delightful instead of nerve-wracking. If you prep and tidy up your home before your friends and family arrive, then you’ll have maximum fun without added stress. For more tips on home preparation, organization and interior design, make sure to like us on Facebook.
