Housing Prices Went Up Again in April





While spring is typically the setting for a strong market, low inventories and growing sales may be the culprit of rocketing prices. Home prices continued their upward climb in April, with a 2.7 percent monthly advance, moving the year-on-year gain up to 6.8 percent. This forward motion represents 38 months of consecutive year-over-year increases in home prices. 

Old-fashion supply and demand, fueled by historically low mortgage rates and improving consumer finances and confidence, continue to push home prices up. Including distressed sales, 30 states plus the District of Columbia were at or within 10 percent of their peak prices in April. Included among these states are Colorado, Alaska, Wyoming, Tennessee, Texas, Nebraska and New York. Selected markets such as the urban cores of Tampa and St. Petersburg; South Tampa; North East St.Pete; and the beaches, are extremely hot. All are at pre-recession levels with very low supplies.
