Real estate poll: Cautious optimism
Most of you -- the survey-takers among you, at least -- are calling a bottom on home prices in your own neighborhoods. Just over 60 percent believe prices will stop falling at some point this year.
Here's how last week's Wonk poll turned out:
26 percent believe home prices in your own neighborhoods will flatten out this year, the most popular answer.
21 percent said they'll fall for a while but then flatten out
20 percent expect continued falling through the year, but not as bad as last year
11 percent are in the "worse to come" camp, predicting bigger price drops this year
10 percent see blue skies ahead this year -- price increases
7 percent think prices will fall as sharply this year as last year
5 percent believe prices will fall for a while but then start to rise
And one reader wrote in an answer: "Same for 15 years out."
Thanks for playing, folks. Now: Next poll!
