Survey Highlights Bullish Outlook for Affordable Housing Investment
Finance executives in the affordable housing sector overwhelmingly support regional changes to zoning policies to boost the housing supply, according to a survey conducted by Walker & Dunlop. Conducted last month with attendees at the Affordable Housing Finance Live conference, the second annual survey also highlighted a bullish outlook for increased investment in affordable housing.
The survey’s other highlights include the following:
- 84% of respondents don’t support increasing trade tariffs as a way to benefit home builders and home buyers.
- 55% of respondents feel the Fed was effective in combating inflation over the past year, in contrast to 2023, when 93% of respondents didn’t think the Fed was doing enough to increase the supply of affordable housing.
- 89% of respondents think an increase in resources and supply can offset rising prices for housing.
- 52% of respondents said they have seen increased investment in affordable housing over the past year and 70% believe the appetite for investments in affordable housing will increase in 2025.
