The national housing market recovery proved it is on firm ground in July, as home values rose 6 percent year-over-year to a Zillow Home Value Index of $161,600, the first time home values have appreciated at an annual pace of 6 percent or higher since August 2006.The Zillow data is for July.
July marked the 14th straight month of annual home value appreciation, according to the July Zillow Real Estate Market Reports. Home values were up 0.4 percent in July compared with June. ...
“After three straight months of annual home value appreciation above 5 percent, the U.S. housing market recovery has proven it is on very sound footing. We have entered a new phase in the recovery when we can begin to turn away from ugly recent history and turn toward what the housing market of the future will look like and how it will act. ...” said Zillow Chief Economist Dr. Stan Humphries. ...
For the 12-month period from July 2013 to July 2014, U.S. home values are expected to rise another 4.8 percent to approximately $169,308, according to the Zillow Home Value Forecast.
The Case-Shiller house price indexes for June will be released Tuesday, August 27th. Zillow has argued that the Case-Shiller numbers overstate the recent price increases: "The Case-Shiller indices are giving an inflated sense of national home value appreciation because they are biased toward the large, coastal metros currently seeing such enormous home value gains, and because they include foreclosure resales."
Also Zillow has started forecasting the Case-Shiller a month early, and I like to check the Zillow forecasts since they have been pretty close. NOTE: Here is a repeat of the table I posted a few weeks ago:
