Annual House Price Growth Nears Return to Historical Norms Nationally

—Supply and Demand Dynamics Favor Ongoing House Price Slowdown, Even as Mortgage Rates Fall, says Chief Economist Mark Fleming—

Chief Economist National HPI Analysis:

“Annual house price appreciation nationally slowed for the eighth consecutive month, inching closer to the pre-pandemic historical average of approximately 3.5 percent. Housing demand remains strained under the pressure of elevated mortgage rates and high prices, while for-sale inventory has increased compared to last year. Sluggish demand combined with increasing supply is a recipe for cooling home price appreciation,” said Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American. “The key question moving forward is whether the recent, and potentially ongoing, downward trend in mortgage rates fueled by the Fed’s widely expected interest rate cut will be enough to bring buyers off the sidelines. But most buyers are also sellers, and they will remain significantly rate locked-in by their current low-rate mortgages, so modestly lower rates may not spur significant numbers of buyers into the market.”

Year-Over-Year Price-Tier Data for the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land Metro Area: August 2023 to August 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.

“Potential first-time home buyers suffer the most from affordability challenges, as they lack the equity from an existing home to bring to the closing table. Yet, first-time home buyer demand appears to be resilient, since annual price growth in the starter home price tier remained positive in 25 of the top 30 markets we track in August,” said Fleming. “Notably, many of the top markets for growth in starter home prices are those that are relatively more affordable, such as Pittsburgh, Baltimore and St. Louis.”

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.
