Consumer attitudes toward housing and the economy in general continued the slow improvement that has become the norm according to results from the October National Housing Survey. Fannie Mae which sponsors the survey said the share of respondent households voicing confidence that their personal financial situation would improve over the next 12 months climbed to 45 percent. This was only a one point gain from the September survey but was seven points higher than one year ago and the highest it has been since June 2013. At the same time the percentage of those who expected personal finances would worsen over that time frame dropped 2 points to 10 percent compared to 22 percent in October 2013.
