Housing continues to stand out as a long-term investment. A new Fannie Mae/Pulsenomics survey of leading economists projects home prices will rise about 2.5% over the next year and roughly 14% over five years. For a $500,000 home, that equates to around $12,500 in appreciation over the next 12 months and about $70,000 over five years, highlighting housing’s continued wealth-building potential.
