Housing shortage keeps pressure on home prices – CoreLogi

Housing shortage keeps pressure on home prices – CoreLogic

CoreLogic’s home price index (HPI) posted a 2% annual increase in April, marking the sixth month of single-digit gains.

CoreLogic said that while home prices continued to grow for the 135th month, the single-digit increase reflects the market slowdown seen in the past year. Month over month, prices rose by 1.2% from March.


“Numerous economic concerns are contributing to buyer reluctance, including mortgage rate volatility and the related uncertainty surrounding the recent debt-ceiling debate,” CoreLogic wrote in its HPI report. “That said, a continued shortage of homes for sale could keep pressure on housing prices over the next 12 months.”

Annual home price appreciation is expected to decelerate further in 2023 before regaining steam to 4.6% by April 2024.

Miami saw the highest year-over-year home price gain of 13.2%, followed by Atlanta with 4.8%. Among states, Indiana and New Jersey registered the highest increase, at 7.3% and 7.1%, respectively.

On the other hand, 10 states posted annual losses, including  Washington (-7.7%), Idaho (-5.9%),  Utah (-4.9%), Nevada (-4.5%), California (-3.6%), Arizona (-2.6%), Oregon (-2.6%), Colorado (-2.1%), Montana (-1.1%) and New York (-1.1%).

US Home Price Insights – June 2023

Through April 2023 With Forecasts Through April 2024

Home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, increased year over year by 2% in April 2023 compared with April 2022. On a month-over-month basis, home prices increased by 1.2% in  April 2023 compared with March 2023 (revisions with public records data are standard, and to ensure accuracy, CoreLogic incorporates the newly released public data to provide updated results).

Forecast Prices Nationally

The CoreLogic HPI Forecast indicates that home prices will increase on a month-over-month basis  by 0.9% from April 2023 to May 2023 and increase on a year-over-year basis by 4.6% from April 2023 to April 2024.

U.S. Home Price Growth Continues to Slow in April

Nationwide, single-family home price growth rose by 2% year over year in April. This marked the 135th consecutive month of annual growth but the sixth straight month of single-digit gains, which have slowed from an all-time high of nearly 20% annual appreciation in the spring of 2022.

Numerous economic concerns are contributing to buyer reluctance, including mortgage rate volatility and the related uncertainty surrounding the recent debt-ceiling debate. That said, a continued shortage of homes for sale could keep pressure on housing prices over the next 12 months. CoreLogic projects that home price growth will slow a bit more in 2023 before regaining steam to about 5% annual appreciation by April 2024.

“While mortgage rate volatility continues to cause buyer hesitation, the lack of for-sale homes is putting firm pressure on prices this spring, leading to above-average seasonal monthly gains and a rebound in home prices in most markets.Nevertheless, the recent surge in mortgage rates and continued inflation issues suggest that rates may remain elevated, leading home price appreciation to possibly relax this summer and return to average seasonal gains later in 2023.

Still, while slim inventory is pushing prices up once again and constraining affordability, recent trends suggest that home price growth in 2023 will fall in line with the historical 4% annual average.“

Markets to Watch: Top Markets at Risk of Home Price Decline

The CoreLogic Market Risk Indicator (MRI), a monthly update of the overall health of housing markets across the country, predicts that Lakeland-Winter Haven, FL is at a very high risk (70%-plus probability) of a decline in home prices over the next 12 months. Provo-Orem, UT; North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton, FL; Cape Coral-Fort Myers, FL and Port St. Lucie, FL are also at very high risk for price declines.

51 US cities expected to see the highest home-price increases and 5 at risk of falling in the next 12 months — plus where mortgage rates could be by year-end — according to a housing economist

  • The economist Selma Hepp says home prices in some areas are rising because of limited inventory.
  • Areas that saw price declines during the pandemic are expected to make a comeback, she said.
  • Anaheim, California; Seattle; and Sacramento, California; topped the list of Metropolitan areas.
The US housing market started off on a solid footing this year as home prices rose.
But it's not necessarily because buyers are back in droves. High mortgage rates have kept would-be sellers locked into their current properties, making inventory tight and raising demand for the little that's on the market, Selma Hepp, the chief economist at CoreLogic, said.
...Below is a list of 51 metropolitan areas expected to see the most home-price increases in the next 12 months, from the highest to the lowest.

  • The data is taken from CoreLogic's HPI, which measures the year-over-year changes in single-family-home values based on data from more than 400 US cities. 
  • The index changes are based on repeat sales of the same properties.

The metropolitan areas listed below have the highest probability of seeing price declines in the next 12 months.

"In these markets, when we look at how much prices exceed local incomes, it has been substantial. And that increases the vulnerability for price declines going forward," Hepp said.

Finally, while mortgage rates can be difficult to predict, Hepp said that we had likely peaked for the year. CoreLogic expects that mortgage rates will gradually decline for the remainder of the year to about 5.8% if inflation rates continue to decline, she said."
