First American Data & Analytics released its January 2025 Home Price Index (HPI) report, showing the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land market experienced a 1.7% year-over-year price increase. The national house price growth slowed to its lowest pace since June 2023, with a 3.3% year-over-year increase.

In the Houston metro area, price growth varied across segments: starter homes rose 0.7%, mid-tier increased 1.9%, and luxury homes showed the strongest growth at 4.7%. This trend reflects a broader pattern where luxury homes outperformed other segments in 25 of 28 tracked markets.

The report highlighted significant variations across major markets. St. Louis and Cambridge, Mass. led with the highest year-over-year increases at 4.6%, while Oakland, Calif. and Tampa, Fla. showed the largest decreases at -3.8%. Chief Economist Mark Fleming attributes the slowdown to elevated mortgage rates reducing buying power and increasing inventory levels.

La crescita dei prezzi delle case a livello nazionale è rallentata al ritmo più basso da giugno 2023, con un aumento del 3,3% rispetto all'anno precedente.

St. Louis e Cambridge, Mass. hanno guidato con i più alti aumenti anno su anno al 4,6%, mentre Oakland, Calif. e Tampa, Fla. hanno mostrato i maggiori cali al -3,8%. Il Chief Economist Mark Fleming attribuisce il rallentamento ai tassi ipotecari elevati che riducono il potere d'acquisto e aumentano i livelli di inventario.

휴스턴 메트로 지역에서는 가격 상승이 세그먼트에 따라 달라졌습니다: 초급 주택은 0.7% 상승했으며, 중간 가격대 주택은 1.9% 증가했으며, 고급 주택은 4.7%로 가장 강한 성장을 보였습니다. 이 추세는 고급 주택이 28개 추적 시장 중 25개에서 다른 세그먼트를 초과 성과를 거두는 더 넓은 패턴을 반영합니다.

National House Price Growth Sinks to Slowest Pace Since Summer 2023

—Much like the groundhog seeing its shadow, we expect the housing winter to persist in the face of elevated 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 January 2025 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:

“National house price growth slipped to the slowest pace since June 2023 amid elevated mortgage rates and rising inventories,” said Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American. “Elevated mortgage rates reduce house-buying power for potential buyers, holding back demand. At the same time, inventory levels are increasing as some potential sellers list their homes for sale after coming to terms with ‘higher-for-longer’ rates and more new-home completions hit the market, further dampening price growth. Much like the groundhog seeing its shadow, we expect this ‘housing winter’ to persist if mortgage rates remain high while inventories keep climbing.”

Year-Over-Year Price-Tier Data for the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land Metro Area: January 2024 to January 2025

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.

“The luxury price tier stands out as a relative outperformer when measuring annual house price growth by tier and market. Prices in the luxury tier grew in 25 of the 28 markets we tracked this month, outpacing price growth in the mid- and starter tier segments,” said Fleming. “Luxury home buyers, less affected by the lock-in effect due to their ability to pay in cash, are playing a different game. In December’s existing-home sales report, the boom in sales was most distinct at the upper end of the market as sales of homes priced at more than $1 million jumped 35 percent nationally, followed closely by homes in the $750,000-$1 million range, which spiked 33 percent. Existing homeowners are playing ‘housing musical chairs’ by selling to each other, a dynamic that is keeping luxury price growth strong in many markets.”

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 price 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.
