Redfin Reports U.S. Home Prices Tick Up 0.2% for the Second Month in a Row
Home prices grew
On a year-over-year basis, home prices rose
This is according to the Redfin Home Price Index (RHPI), which uses the repeat-sales pricing method to calculate seasonally adjusted changes in prices of single-family homes. The RHPI measures sale prices of homes that sold during a given period, and how those prices have changed since the last time those same homes sold. It’s similar to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Indices but is published more than one month earlier. July data covers the three months ending July 31, 2024.
Home prices continue to inch up to all-time highs—albeit more slowly than in previous months—because there is still a shortage of homes on the market relative to buyer demand. Mortgage rates have fallen considerably in recent weeks, but that has not yet translated into a significant increase in buyers, which in turn has prevented prices from rising more quickly.
“There aren’t enough sellers listing their homes to cause prices to fall and there aren’t enough buyers to create competition to drive prices up significantly,” said Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari. “Relatively low sales and gradual price increases will remain the status quo each month until one of those things changes.”
