Home prices are steadily rising and mortgage interest rates are beginning to inch up again, but that doesn't seem to be discouraging many potential buyers.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans, 62%, said April was a good time to buy a home, according to Fannie Mae's monthly National Housing Survey. That's just a tad more than the 60% who felt that way in March, and 61% in April 2016.

The survey polls 1,000 Americans with more than 100 questions on their attitudes toward owning and renting a home, price changes in the housing market, and the health of the economy.
