CoreLogic has just unveiled its latest findings on U.S. home prices, and the insights are too compelling to overlook.
Across the nation, there has been a substantial 5.5% surge in home prices compared to the previous year, with a noteworthy 0.7% increase recorded just between January and February 2024.
These figures underscore the ongoing momentum in the market.
Looking to the future, CoreLogic's projections indicate a more moderated growth trajectory, with an expected 0.4% rise from February to March 2024 and a year-over-year increase of 3.1% by February 2025.
This suggests a slight slowdown in the pace of growth, which could translate to increased stability for prospective buyers assessing the market.
The report also highlights a significant shift: there's a growing influx of inventory hitting the market, promising more choices and potentially alleviating the intense competition we've witnessed. However, affordability remains a key concern—especially if interest rates remain high.
This comprehensive overview not only provides insights into recent trends but also offers valuable foresight into what may lie ahead.
