InmanNews recently reported that homes sales in markets nationwide have slowed considerably in the last year, causing property inventory levels to rise and price gains to slow or even decline in some areas, and national consumer confidence indexes show some of the lowest confidence levels toward housing in a decade. The University of Michigan's monthly survey of consumers in September showed that home-buying attitudes were at the lowest level since 1990, with consumers citing concerns over potential future price decreases and increases in mortgage interest rates.Despite the unfavorable outlook on housing, consumers' assessment of overall economic conditions was less pessimistic in September compared with past months. Overall consumer confidence, which decreased sharply in August, rebounded in September, according to The Conference Board, which reported its index increased to 104.5 from 100.2 in August, and the University of Michigan, which reported its index stood at 85.4, up from 82 in August.Real estate brokers agree that home buyers' attitudes have changed, but said that overall, buyers they are working with still feel real estate is worth their money. The difference today from a year ago is that buyers in many markets know they have the upper hand and are letting homes sit on the market longer in hopes of finding a better deal. There's a lack of urgency in pushing buying decisions, brokers say.
