Realtor survey also shows waning confidence in an improving economy as Washington continues intransigence.
Fresh data from the National Association of Realtors indicates that 71% of homeowners believe now is a good time to sell, which is giving the group hope that more listings are on the horizon. That figure is up from 69% in the first quarter of 2017 and from 61% a year earlier.
NAR’s quarterly Housing Opportunities and Market Experience (HOME) survey also found that fewer renters think it’s a good time to buy a home, and respondents are less confident about the economy and their financial situation than earlier this year despite continuous job gains.
