MBS Highway has announced that its Chief Executive Officer Barry Habib has received the prestigious 2016 Pulsenomics Crystal Ball Award as part of the Zillow Home Price Expectations Survey.

The Award is presented in connection with Pulsenomics survey of more than 100 of the nation's top economists, investment strategists, and housing market analysts, who then rank the winners based on the accuracy of their predictions of future real estate trends. Barry’s forecasts were the most accurate of all the experts polled.

Habib is an American entrepreneur and frequent media resource for his mortgage and housing expertise. Barry has had a long tenure in the media with numerous appearances on various financial TV networks. For more than 25 years, Barry has also been a well-known professional speaker on the financial and real estate markets.

"I could not be more pleased by this award," said Habib. "It's a credit to all of us at MBS Highway who work hard every day to give our clients the most accurate mortgage, interest rate, and real estate information and forecasts. We have received many kudos over the years for making accurate forecasts on home prices and on the direction of interest rates, but this award ranks above them all and is quite an honor for all of us at MBS Highway.”

Winners receive the coveted Pulsenomics Crystal Ball Award, a genuine crystal ball complete with a crystal stand and an engraved plaque to commemorate each winner's accomplishment.
