On Thursday, HomeGain, one of the first companies to provide free instant home valuations online, released the national and regional results of our fourth quarter home prices survey of nearly 1000 HomeGain current and former members. The survey asked their opinions on home values and what they thought of President Obama’s performance as President so far. On the HomeGain real estate blog we published the full survey results, including Realtor commentary and charts. Yesterday, we published the results of the fourth quarter Texas home prices, Florida home prices and California home prices survey results.
Today we are publishing the New York home prices survey data.
The New York survey data shows a decrease in home owners’ pricing expectations with 23% of New York home owners believing their homes should be priced 10-20% higher than their Realtors’ recommended listing price vs. 43% who thought so in the third quarter New York home prices survey and 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 more fairly valued in the fourth quarter than they did in the third quarter with 19% of homebuyers in the Empire State believing homes were fairly valued vs. 14% who believed so in the third quarter and 21% who so believed in the second quarter. Thirty-one percent of New York home buyers thought homes were overpriced in their state by 10-20% vs 47% who so thought in the third quarter and 24% 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-nine percent of New York Realtors surveyed thought home values would decrease in the coming six months vs. 33% who thought so in the third quarter and 24% who thought the same in the second quarter survey. (see question 6)
Sixty four percent New York Realtors disapprove of Obama’s performance as President vs. 50% who approved his performance in the third quarter.
