Friday, March 12, 2021 Fannie Mae’s Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI) decreased in February, while consumers reported a more positive view of the labor market compared to January.
The HPSI is a distillation of Fannie Mae’s National Housing Survey that reflects consumers’ current views and expectations of housing market conditions. The evaluation considers answers to six questions about the housing market and other topics related to homebuying decisions.
“As we expected, the HPSI remained relatively flat in February, but underlying data indicate growing job-related optimism among consumers, especially among lower-income and renter groups,” Doug Duncan, Fannie Mae senior vice president and chief economist, said in a release. “With the growing likelihood that lockdown restrictions will continue easing as vaccination efforts ramp up, and with warmer weather on the horizon and another round of fiscal stimulus pending, these two segments of consumers may have good reas
