On a month-over-month basis, home prices are expected to increase by 0.8% from May 2019 to June 2019, bringing single-family home prices to an all-time high.<\/p>\n<p>The CoreLogic HPI Forecast is a projection of home prices calculated using the CoreLogic HPI and other economic variables. Values are derived from state-level forecasts by weighting indices according to the number of owner-occupied households for each state.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cInterest rates on fixed-rate mortgages fell by nearly one percentage point between November 2018 and this May,\u201d said Dr. Frank Nothaft, chief economist at CoreLogic. \u201cThis has been a shot-in-the-arm for home sales. Sales gained momentum in May and annual home-price growth accelerated for the first time since March 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-58873 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/01\/image011-2.jpg\" alt=\"Home prices\" width=\"1600\" height=\"987\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-58874 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/preprod.realtrends.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/01\/image010-3.jpg\" alt=\"Home prices\" width=\"1200\" height=\"660\"><\/p>\n<p>According to the CoreLogic Market Condition Indicators (MCI), an analysis of housing values in the country\u2019s 100 largest metropolitan areas based on housing stock, 38% of metropolitan areas have an overvalued housing market as of May 2019.<\/p>\n<p>The CoreLogic MCI analysis categorizes home prices in individual markets as undervalued, at value or overvalued, by comparing home prices to their long-run, sustainable levels, which are supported by local market fundamentals such as disposable income. As of May 2019, 24% of the top 100 metropolitan areas were undervalued, and 38% were at value.<\/p>\n<p>When looking at only the top 50 markets based on housing stock, 42% were overvalued, 16% were undervalued and 42% were at value. The CoreLogic MCI analysis defines an overvalued housing market as one in which home prices are at least 10% above the long-term, sustainable level. An undervalued housing market is one in which home prices are at least 10% below the sustainable level.<\/p>\n<p>During the first quarter of 2019, CoreLogic together with RTi Research of Norwalk, Connecticut, conducted an extensive survey measuring consumer-housing sentiment in high-priced markets. Given the significant increases in home prices in these markets, <a href=\"homeownership-primary-driver-of-wealth\/\">homeowners<\/a> are questioning their ability to afford replacement homes, and 28% of homeowners reported they are concerned they won\u2019t be able to afford buying a new home in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Only half of the respondents are satisfied with the number of options available in their market, and 40% of homeowners who are considering selling said they would have to move outside of their current market to afford another home.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe recent and forecasted acceleration in home prices is a good and bad thing at the same time,\u201d said Frank Martell, president and CEO of CoreLogic. \u201cHigher prices and a lack of affordable homes are two of the most challenging issues in housing today, and every buyer, seller and industry participant is being impacted.<\/p>\n<p>The long-term solution lies in expanding supply, which will require aggressive and effective collaboration between policy makers, state and local government entities and home builders.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May Home Prices Increased by 3.6% Year Over Year Home prices rose both year over year and month over month, according to CoreLogic Home Price Index (HPI\u2122) and HPI Forecast\u2122 for May 2019.&nbsp; Home prices increased nationally by 3.6% from May 2018.
