Indeed, as other signs appear to point toward an economic downturn, the University of Michigan\u2019s benchmark Survey of Consumers reached its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/consumer-sentiment-plummets-to-lowest-level-since-1950s\">lowest level<\/a> since 1952 in May.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond expected increases in price levels, the median expected change in home prices one year from now fell from 5.8% to 4.4%.
