Fannie Mae Partners with Pulsenomics to Launch Home Price Expectations Survey

Fannie Mae, the leading source of financing for mortgage lenders in the United States, has announced a new partnership with Pulsenomics LLC to introduce the Home Price Expectations Survey (HPES). This quarterly survey will gather insights from over 100 housing experts across the industry and academia to forecast national home price percentage changes for the next five years.

The collaboration between Fannie Mae and Pulsenomics aims to provide accurate and reliable data to help industry stakeholders make informed decisions. The survey results, along with respondent feedback on topical questions, will be published quarterly by Fannie Mae. This initiative complements Fannie Mae’s existing Home Price Index (FNM-HPI) by offering insights into both past and expected future home price changes.

Doug Duncan, Fannie Mae’s Senior Vice President and Chief Economist, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating, “We remain committed to providing the public with accurate, reliable, and timely data and market analysis that better enables industry stakeholders to make informed decisions. Partnering with Pulsenomics on the HPES will enable us to serve the markets by providing data on both past and expected future home price changes.”

Terry Loebs, founder of Pulsenomics, also expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, emphasizing the value of Fannie Mae’s robust housing data and analytics in enriching the survey. Loebs highlighted the unique insights shared by the esteemed expert panel members, which will be made more visible through this partnership.

Fannie Mae’s Economic & Strategic Research Group (ESR) will be responsible for the survey’s publication. The ESR Group, led by Chief Economist Doug Duncan, analyzes historical and emerging trends, conducts surveys, and provides forecasts and analyses on the economy, housing, and mortgage markets. The group was recently awarded the prestigious 2022 Lawrence R. Klein Award for Blue Chip Forecast Accuracy.

Fannie Mae’s mission is to promote equitable and sustainable access to homeownership and quality, affordable rental housing for millions of people across America. They aim to drive responsible innovation in the housing market and make homebuying and renting easier, fairer, and more accessible.

Pulsenomics, an independent research and consulting firm, leverages expertise in data analytics, opinion research, financial markets, and economics to deliver insights and market intelligence to institutional clients, partners, and the public.

The Home Price Expectations Survey will provide valuable information to industry professionals and individuals interested in the housing market.
