Trulia, Inc. Research Report
On July 25, 2013, Trulia, Inc. (Trulia) released the results of its Summer 2013 American Dream Survey. The latest findings of the survey revealed how the current competitive real estate market has impacted consumer sentiment toward homeownership and the desperate measures people are willing to use to buy a home. According to the survey, the top most worry among Americans who plan to buy a home is that mortgage rates would increase further before they buy followed by rising home prices. According to Jed Kolko, Trulia's Chief Economist, "The rising cost of homeownership cuts both ways for consumer confidence. The combination of rising rates and rising prices has made owning 20 percent more expensive, leading people to downsize their housing dreams. But rising prices make housing look like a better financial bet, so a majority of Americans now think homeownership is one of the best investments they can make."
