CoreLogic Reports Home Prices Up 3.7% Year-to-Year for November

Home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, increased year over year by 3.7% in November 2019 compared with November 2018 and increased month over month by 0.5% in November 2019 compared with October 2019.

“The latest U.S. index shows that the slowdown in home prices we saw in early 2019 ended by late summer,” said Dr. Frank Nothaft, chief economist at CoreLogic. “Growth in the U.S. index quickened in November and posted the largest 12-month gain since February. The decline in mortgage rates, down more than one percentage point for fixed-rate loans from November 2018, has supported a rise in sales activity and home prices.”
