On Monday, HomeGain, the first website to provide free instant home values, released the national and regional results of our home prices survey of 1,084 current and former HomeGain members. The survey asked their opinions on home prices and what they thought of Barack Obama’s performance as President. On the HomeGain real estate blog we published the complete national and regional third quarter results.
Earlier this week we published the results of the California home prices, Texas home prices and Florida home prices surveys.
Today we published the Massachusettes home prices survey data and today we are also releasing the New York home prices survey data.
The New York survey data shows an increase in home owners’ pricing expectations with 42% of New York home owners believing their homes should be priced 10-20% higher than their Realtors’ recommended listing price vs. 36% who thought the same in the second quarter New York home prices survey. (see question 2).
Conversely, New York home buyers saw homes as less fairly valued in the third quarter than they did in the second quarter with only 14% of home buyers in the Empire State believing homes were fairly valued vs. 21% who so believed in the second quarter. ( see question 3)
An increasing percentage of New York Realtors believe that home prices will decrease in the next six months. Thirty-three percent of New York Realtors surveyed thought home values would decrease in the coming six months vs. 24% who thought the same in the second quarter survey. (see question 6)
Fifty percent New York Realtors approve of Obama’s performance as President (vs. 42% nationally). Obama’s current approval rating in New York is down from 54% in the second quarter.
