Fannie Mae

Fannie Mae’s August 2025 National Housing Survey reveals a slight dip in consumer housing sentiment. The Home Purchase Sentiment Index (HPSI) decreased marginally, both month-over-month and year-over-year, indicating a slow cooling of housing market optimism. Persistent inflation, fluctuating mortgage rates, and affordability challenges are cited as factors weighing on consumer sentiment. The rise of AI-powered real estate tools, while enhancing transparency, also highlights the financial realities of homeownership. The HPSI is closely monitored as a leading indicator of future housing market activity.
