I guess this author didn’t catch this morning’s news that the CoreLogic Home Price Index for June was up 11.9% year-over-year and 1.9% from May. In fact, annual home-price growth in June was close to the fastest pace in seven years, as inventories of existing and new homes remained low. “In the first six months of 2013, the U.S. housing market appreciated a remarkable 10 percent,” said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. “This trend in home price gains is moving at the fastest pace since 1977.” “The U.S. housing market experienced robust price appreciation during the first half of 2013 and our forecast calls for double-digit growth through July,” said Anand Nallathambi, CoreLogic’s chief executive. “Despite their rebound of late, home prices remain reasonable in a historical context, with most states near peak affordability levels.”
