    Unfortunately $/sf especially at the low end often fails to take into account the value of the land itself. A cute 650sf bungalow near Carlsbad Village or inland a large lot with an old ranch house.

    Yeah, I know. Just trying to make some sense of it all!

    Americans are increasingly hopeful that home prices have peaked and mortgage rates will come back down to Earth, but for now only one in four think it’s a good time to buy a home, according to a monthly survey by mortgage giant Fannie Mae.

    While only 23 percent of those surveyed by Fannie Mae in November thought it was a good time to buy a home, that’s up from 14 percent a year ago, when mortgage rates were near post-pandemic peaks.

    Close to two-thirds of the 1,050 household financial decision makers participating in the latest National Housing Survey said November was a good time to be selling.

    BEHIND THE NEWS: Fannie Mae’s Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI), which distills six questions from the National Housing Survey into a single number, climbed to 75.0 in November, up just 0.4 points from October but 17 percent from a year ago.

    Forecasts issued by economists at Fannie Mae and the Mortgage Bankers Association last month included dramatic downward revisions for projected home sales and a more cautious outlook on the prospects for mortgage rates to come down next year.
