WASHINGTON, April 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Fannie Mae (OTCQB: FNMA) Home Purchase Sentiment Index® (HPSI) decreased by 2.1 points to 73.2 in March, as consumers continue to express pessimism regarding the trajectory of mortgage rates and homebuying conditions generally. Overall, four of the index's six components decreased month over month, including the components asking consumers whether they expect mortgage rates to go up and whether they believe it's a good time to buy a home. In March, a survey-high 69% of respondents indicated that they expect mortgage rates to continue their upward ascent. On net, the "Good Time to Buy" component set a new survey low, with 73% of respondents reporting that it's a bad time to buy a home. Year over year, the full index is down 8.5 points.

Key Points: 
  • In March, a survey-high 69% of respondents indicated that they expect mortgage rates to continue their upward ascent.
  • If consumer pessimism toward homebuying conditions continues and the recent mortgage rate increases are sustained, then we expect to see an even greater cooling of the housing market than previously forecast ."
