Poll Results on Real Estate Attitudes
Oct 12, 2006
The Associated Press-AOL Real Estate poll on public attitudes about shopping for homes was conducted Sept. 26-28 by Ipsos and is based on telephone interviews Ipsos conducted with 2,001 adults from all states except Alaska and Hawaii. That included 289 people who bought a home in the last two years and 401 likely to buy a home within the next two years.
Results were weighted to represent the population by demographic factors such as age, sex, region, race and income. No more than one time in 20 should chance variations in the sample cause the results to vary by more than plus or minus 3 percentage points from the answers that would be obtained if all people in the U.S. were polled. The margin of error for those who bought homes within the last 2 years was plus or minus 6 percentage points, while the margin of error for those who are likely to buy a home in the next 2 years was plus or minus 5 percentage points.

-Not too likely, 21 percent-Definitely will not buy, 53 percent
-Not sure, 1 percent

Total not too likely/will not buy - 74 percent
4. Do you think the housing market in your area is overpriced, under priced, or do you think the market is priced about right?
-Overpriced, 46 percent
-Underpriced, 5 percent
