Home Prices Projected to Increase By 3 Percent in Forthcoming Year

Recently released research data project rising residential prices in 2013.

A similar National Association of Business Economists survey projected a 2.8 percent increase in home prices by the end of 2013.

Based on information from the latest Realtors Confidence Index, REALTORS® are projecting a 3 percent increase in home prices in the forthcoming year. Both practitioners and economists are in good agreement on this one: prices are projected to increase.
