Affordability Challenges and Influx of Homes for Sale Helping Normalize House Price Appreciation Levels

—‘Five D’s’ Driving Homeowners to Sell Despite ‘Higher-for-Longer’ Mortgage Rates, says Chief Economist Mark Fleming—

SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- First American Data & Analytics, a leading national provider of property-centric information, risk management and valuation solutions and a division of First American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF), today released its May 2024 Home Price Index (HPI) report. The report tracks home price changes less than four weeks behind real time at the national, state and metropolitan (Core-Based Statistical Area) levels and includes metropolitan price tiers that segment sale transactions into starter, mid and luxury tiers. The full report can be found here.

Chief Economist National HPI Analysis:

“In May, annualized house price appreciation slowed for the fifth consecutive month, clearly showing a returning-to-normal trend toward slower price appreciation. The normalization of house price appreciation is the result of ‘higher-for-longer’ mortgage rates reducing affordability and slowing demand, but it’s also driven by the increase in the number of homes for sale,” said Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American. “The longer we go with higher rates, the less the rate lock-in effect constrains sellers because moving decisions continue to happen regardless of mortgage rates due to the ‘Five D’s’ of life events – diapers, diplomas, divorce, downsizing and death.”

Year-Over-Year Price-Tier Data for the Dallas-Plano-Irving Metro Area: May 2023 to May 2024

The First American Data & Analytics HPI segments home price changes at the metropolitan level into three price tiers based on local market sales data: starter tier, which represents home sales prices at the bottom third of the market price distribution; mid-tier, which represents home sales prices in the middle third of the market price distribution; and the luxury tier, which represents home sales prices in the top third of the market price distribution.

CBSA	Starter	Mid-Tier	Luxury
Dallas-Plano-Irving	3.1%	2.8%	2.5%

“The impact of lifestyle changes on housing demand is a significant reason why starter tier prices continue to outperform prices in the mid and luxury tiers,” said Fleming. “Many millennials are still searching for their first home and now face competition from the oldest members of generation Z. Housing was underbuilt for more than a decade, so it’s no surprise that starter tier prices are surging in the New York area, St. Louis, Miami and Pittsburgh.”

First American Data & Analytics HPI Methodology

The First American Data & Analytics HPI report measures single-family home prices, including distressed sales, with indices updated monthly beginning in 1980 through the month of the current report. HPI data is provided at the national, state and CBSA levels and includes preliminary index estimates for the month prior to the report (i.e. the preliminary result of July transactions is reported in August). The most recent index results are subject to revision as data from more transactions become available.

The HPI uses a repeat-sales methodology, which measures prices changes for the same property over time using more than 46 million paired transactions to generate the indices. In non-disclosure states, the HPI utilizes a combination of public sales records, MLS sold and active listings, and appraisal data to estimate house prices. This comprehensive approach is particularly effective in areas where there is limited availability of accurate sale prices, such as non-disclosure states. Property type, price and location data are used to create more refined market segment indices. Real Estate-Owned transactions are not included.
