“In the strongest region, the Pacific Northwest, prices are rising at more than 10 percent; in the slower Northeast, prices are climbing a bit faster than inflation,” David M. Blitzer, managing director and chairman at S&P Dow Jones Indices, said in a news release. “Nationally, home prices have risen at a consistent 4.8 percent annual pace over the last two years without showing any signs of slowing.”

Portland posted a 12.6 percent year-over-year price increase. Seattle and Denver featured 11 percent and 9.2 percent annual price gains, respectively.

National home price: May v. June

Adjusting for seasonality, the national home price index jumped 0.2 percent month-over-month. Within the top 10 and top 20 cities, the composite dropped 0.1 percent between May and June.

Blitzer says residential real estate shows signs of positivity, although slimming inventory represents a narrow national home price market. Despite this, sales of new single-family homes in July reached the highest volume since November 2007.

Dallas saw a steep 8.9 percent increase year-over-year, assisted by a 0.9 percent increase from May to June. Miami also saw a large increase, at 6.9 percent year-over-year. Between May and June, Miami home prices rose 0.7 percent.

In Los Angeles, home prices jumped 5.3 percent annually and 0.6 percent monthly. San Francisco posted a rise of 6.4 percent year-over-year and 0.4 percent month-over-month.

Looking at the other side of the country, New York City posted a 2 percent rise in home prices year-over-year. Between May and June, NYC saw a 0.9 percent boost.

Washington D.C. almost mirrored the Big Apple, with a 2 percent annual rise and 0.8 percent monthly increase.

While Chicago showed mediocre year-over-year home price gains at 3.3 percent, the Windy City posted one of the highest lifts between May and June, at 1.1 percent.
