Further, the survey also highlighted that while relatively few respondents expressed concern about the impact of recent increases in mortgage rates, most believe that rates of 6% or higher would pose significant threat to the housing recovery. "Short-term expectations for home value appreciation through the end of this year are consistent with a nationwide housing market recovery that is both strengthening and widening, but still coping with high levels of negative equity, high demand, and low inventory," said Dr. Svenja Gudell, Senior Economist at Zillow. "Combined, these factors will continue putting upward pressure on home values for the next few months."
