Homeowners are more confident than ever in both the short- and long-term values of their homes, and more now say their home is worth more than what they still owe on their mortgage.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 38% of U.S. Homeowners now believe the value of their home will go up over the next year, the highest finding since Rasmussen Reports began regular tracking in April 2009. Just 14% think their home will be worth less in a year, down six points from last month and the lowest since July. Nearly half (46%) think the value of their home will remain about the same over the next year. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
