Home Price trends from CoreLogic Through August 2017
CoreLogic Home Price Insights
- Home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, increased year over year by 6.9 percent in August 2017 compared with August 2016, and increased month over month by 0.9 percent in August 2017 compared with July 2017.
- The CoreLogic HPI Forecast indicates that home prices will increase by 4.7 percent on a year-over-year basis from August 2017 to August 2018, and on a month-over-month basis home prices are expected to increase by 0.1 percent from August 2017 to September 2017.
- Utah and Washington continue to post double-digit annual price gains.
- Las Vegas home prices increased 8.4 percent year over year, the highest among large metros.
Corelogic Chief Economist Frank Nothaft said in the report, “While growth in home sales has stalled due to a lack of inventory during the last few months, the tight inventory has actually helped stabilize price growth. Over the last three years, price growth in the CoreLogic national index has been between 5 percent and 7 percent per year, and CoreLogic expects home prices to increase about 5 percent by this time next year.”
“Nearly half of the nation’s largest 50 markets are overhauled. The lack of real estate affordability has spread beyond the typically expensive coasts into the interior of the nation, hitting cities such as Denver, Nashville, Austin and Dallas.”
