A growing sense of economic pessimism is sweeping the nation. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down Fannie Mae's latest Home Purchase Sentiment Index, which shows that nearly 70% of Americans believe the economy is on the wrong track — and an even higher 73% say it's a bad time to buy a home.
We'll explore what's driving this negative outlook, from high mortgage rates and rising home prices to slowing job growth and stagnant wages. Kathy also explains what these trends mean for real estate investors and why understanding buyer sentiment can reveal key opportunities in shifting markets.
