Chief Economist National Home Price Index Analysis:

“After years of historically low levels of homes for sale, the pace of existing-home listings has modestly increased, bringing much-needed supply to the housing market. However, just as inventory levels have increased, affordability has weakened as mortgage rates have drifted higher in response to the Fed’s decision to keep the federal funds rate ‘higher for longer,’ reducing demand,” said Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American. “More supply amid a pullback in demand means price appreciation is cooling. The month-over-month growth rate peaked in February at 1.3 percent, but has since cooled significantly. This supply-demand dynamic is likely to persist, so expect year-over-year price appreciation to follow this cooling trend in the months to come.”

Year-Over-Year Price-Tier Data for the Dallas-Plano-Irving Metro Area: April 2023 to April 2024

The First American Data & Analytics HPI segments home price changes at the metropolitan level into three price tiers based on local market sales data: starter tier, which represents home sales prices at the bottom third of the market price distribution; mid-tier, which represents home sales prices in the middle third of the market price distribution; and the luxury tier, which represents home sales prices in the top third of the market price distribution.

“Nationally, price appreciation for starter homes continues to outperform other price tiers. Given starter homes are the least supplied and the most demanded segment of the market, it’s no surprise that, even in a ‘higher-for-longer’ rate environment, there are markets with double-digit annualized price appreciation," said Fleming. “Starter-tier prices are increasing year over year by more than 10 percent in St. Louis, Miami and Pittsburgh."

First American Data & Analytics HPI Methodology

The First American Data & Analytics HPI report measures single-family home prices, including distressed sales, with indices updated monthly beginning in 1980 through the month of the current report. HPI data is provided at the national, state and CBSA levels and includes preliminary index estimates for the month prior to the report (i.e. the preliminary result of July transactions is reported in August). The most recent index results are subject to revision as data from more transactions become available.

The HPI uses a repeat-sales methodology, which measures prices changes for the same property over time using more than 46 million paired transactions to generate the indices. In non-disclosure states, the HPI utilizes a combination of public sales records, MLS sold and active listings, and appraisal data to estimate house prices. This comprehensive approach is particularly effective in areas where there is limited availability of accurate sale prices, such as non-disclosure states. Property type, price and location data are used to create more refined market segment indices. Real Estate-Owned transactions are not included.
