(c) Can Stock Photo(Jeff Sorg, OnlineEd®) –  On November 14, 2014 CoreLogic® released its September CoreLogic Home Price Index (HPI®) report. The report shows home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, increased by 5.6 percent in September 2014 when compared to September 2013. This change represents 31 months of consecutive year-over-year increases in home prices nationally. On a month-over-month basis, home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, dropped by 0.1 percent in September 2014 compared to August 2014.

All states showed year-over-year price appreciation in September.  Michigan and Montana showed double-digit year-over-year growth. The HPI reached new highs in a total of five states: Colorado, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Texas.

“There has been a clear bifurcation in home price growth for lower-end versus upper-end properties in 2014,” said Sam Khater, deputy chief economist at CoreLogic. “As of December 2013, both lower-end and upper-end property prices were up 9.7 percent on a year over year basis. As of September, lower-end prices were up 9.4 percent but upper-end prices were up only 4.5 percent.”

“Home prices continue to rise compared with this time last year but the rate of growth is clearly slowing as we exit 2014,” said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. “With more positive macro-economic trends emerging in the U.S., we are forecasting moderate price growth for 2015.”
