CoreLogic: House Prices Up 3.6% Year-Over-Year in May
Home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, increased year over year by 3.6% in May 2019 compared with May 2018 and increased month over month by 0.9% in May 2019 compared with April 2019.
The CoreLogic HPI Forecast indicates that home prices will increase by 5.6% on a year-over-year basis from May 2019 to May 2020. On a month-over-month basis, home prices are expected to increase by 0.8% from May 2019 to June 2019.
“Interest rates on fixed-rate mortgages fell by nearly one percentage point
between November 2018 and this May. This has been a shot-in-the-arm
for home sales. Sales gained momentum in May and annual home-price
growth accelerated for the first time since March 2018”, Dr. Frank
Nothaft, Chief Economist for CoreLogic
