U.S. home prices look poised to rise at a robust pace over the next few years, mainly because of a chronic shortage of houses and steady demand, a Reuters poll showed on Friday.
Still, a slim majority of analysts in the poll taken May 16-25 said the Trump administration should pursue some form of housing market deregulation, although 60 percent were not convinced that Congress would pass such policies.
The lack of any strong consensus among analysts in this poll and the one three months ago stems from uncertainty about what kind of deregulation, if any, will be proposed.
