First American Data & Analytics released its December 2024 Home Price Index (HPI) report, revealing that the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale market experienced a -0.1% year-over-year price decrease. Nationally, home prices showed a modest +3.9% year-over-year growth, though the pace slowed throughout 2024.

The report highlights that higher mortgage rates and increased inventory levels in the latter half of 2024 contributed to the cooling trend. In the Los Angeles metro area, price changes varied across market segments: starter homes declined -0.2%, mid-tier properties increased +2.0%, and luxury homes rose +0.4%.

Among major markets, Anaheim, California led with the highest year-over-year HPI increase at +6.1%, while Tampa, Florida showed the largest decrease at -4.6%. Chief Economist Mark Fleming suggests that areas with rapid supply growth may face stronger price moderation, while those with supply could see steadier growth or price reacceleration.

First American Data & Analytics ha pubblicato il suo rapporto sul Home Price Index (HPI) di dicembre 2024, rivelando che il mercato di Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale ha registrato una diminuzione dei prezzi dello -0,1% su base annua. A livello nazionale, i prezzi delle case hanno mostrato una crescita modesta del +3,9% rispetto all’anno precedente, anche se il ritmo ha rallentato durante il 2024.

Il rapporto evidenzia che l'aumento dei tassi ipotecari e l'incremento dei livelli di inventario nella seconda metà del 2024 hanno contribuito alla tendenza al raffreddamento. Nella zona metropolitana di Los Angeles, le variazioni dei prezzi sono state diverse a seconda dei segmenti di mercato: le abitazioni di avvio hanno subito una diminuzione dello -0,2%, le proprietà di fascia media sono aumentate del +2,0% e le abitazioni di lusso sono aumentate dello +0,4%.

Tra i principali mercati, Anaheim, California ha registrato il maggiore aumento dell'HPI su base annua con un +6,1%, mentre Tampa, Florida ha mostrato la più grande diminuzione con un -4,6%. Il capo economista Mark Fleming suggerisce che le aree con crescita rapida dell'offerta potrebbero affrontare una maggiore moderazione dei prezzi, mentre quelle con scarsa offerta potrebbero vedere una crescita più sostenuta o una nuova accelerazione dei prezzi.

보고서는 2024년 하반기에 높은 주택담보대출 금리와 증가한 재고 수준이 냉각 추세에 기여했다고 강조합니다. 로스앤젤레스 메트로 지역에서는 시장 세그먼트에 따라 가격 변화가 달랐습니다: 스타터 홈은 -0.2% 감소했고, 중간 가격대의 자산은 +2.0% 증가했으며, 고급 주택은 +0.4% 상승했습니다.

주요 시장 중 애너하임, 캘리포니아가 전년 대비 HPI 증가율이 +6.1%로 가장 높았고, 탬파, 플로리다는 -4.6%로 가장 큰 감소를 보였습니다. 수석 경제학자 마크 플레밍은 공급이 빠르게 증가하는 지역은 가격 조정이 더 강할 수 있으며, 공급이 적은 지역은 더 안정적인 성장이나 가격 재가속화를 경험할 수 있다고 제안합니다.

National House Prices Grew Modestly in 2024

—Higher mortgage rates in the latter half of the year, combined with higher inventory levels, triggered the cooling trend, 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 December 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.

Chief Economist National HPI Analysis:

“House price growth nationally started 2024 strong at a 7 percent annualized pace of growth but gradually slowed over the course of the year, ending in the high 3 percent year-over-year growth range. Higher mortgage rates in the latter half of the year, combined with higher inventory levels, triggered the cooling trend. If similar conditions persist through 2025, we should expect very moderate price appreciation,” said Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American. “Areas with rapid supply growth that outstrips demand may face stronger moderation or even price declines, while areas with limited new supply may see steadier price growth or even price reacceleration. The structural housing shortage nationally will keep a floor on how low prices can go, but a ‘higher-for-longer’ rate environment and inventory growth could cause further price moderation.”

Year-Over-Year Price-Tier Data for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale Metro Area: December 2023 to December 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.

“House price growth has varied considerably at the regional level over the last year, largely driven by differences in for-sale inventories. As more homes become available, the power dynamics can shift in favor of buyers, putting downward pressure on prices,” said Fleming. “All else equal, house price growth in markets with higher inventory of homes available for sale will weaken compared to those with low inventory relative to demand.”

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.
