What Case-Shiller calls “January” numbers should really be called “December” numbers because they represent November-January sales. We won’t get the January numbers, for example, until the end of March and then the January numbers are really the November-January numbers because Case-Shiller uses a 3-month moving average. So what Case-Shiller calls “January” numbers should really be called “December” numbers because they represent November-January sales.
It has been the fifth consecutive deceleration in the growth as demand for housing has been hit by rising borrowing costs, low housing inventory, and stubbornly high inflation. Still, Miami reported the highest gain (24.6 percent), followed by Tampa (23.8 percent), and Charlotte (17.8 percent). On the other hand, San Francisco and Seattle had the weakest gains.

The model identifies long-term influences on house prices, such as income trends and demographics, and cyclical factors such as unemployment and changes in mortgage rates. These scenarios enable clients to simulate the path of house prices under a range of economic conditions, as well as for stress-testing and "what if" analysis.

After peaking in 2006, housing prices sharply declined in 2008 as a result of the housing bubble bursting. Home prices are dropping because affordability has weakened dramatically due to fast-rising mortgage rates. The average rate on the popular 30-year fixed mortgage started this year around 3%, but by June had briefly surpassed 6%. It remained in the high 5% range throughout July and is now edging toward 7%, making the average monthly payment about 70% higher than it was a year ago. "July's report reflects a forceful deceleration," wrote Craig J. Lazzara, managing director at S&P DJI in a release, noting the difference in the annual gains in June and July.
They were developed in the 1980s by three economists and are now managed by Standard & Poor's (S&P).

The national home price index dropped 0.8% month-over-month and the 10-city and 20-city composites fell by 1.2%.

In January 2021, I switched from using CPI-U as the inflation deflator to using “CPI-U Less Shelter”. Since Case-Shiller itself directly measures home price inflation, it’s better to use a deflator that doesn’t also incorporate housing price changes. Real home prices were a bit higher using “CPI-U Less Shelter” as the deflator. For example, using the year 2000 as the baseline, the inflation-adjusted Case Shiller Index for the USA in November 2020 was 151 using CPI-U, and 159 using CPI-U Less Shelter. Despite running 3 months behind, the Case-Shiller Home Price Index remains the most accurate measure of house price appreciation.

The national Case-Shiller Home Price Index rose 10.6% year-over-year in September, down from the rate set in August. Annual appreciation slowed in both the 10- and 20-city (non-seasonally adjusted) indices. The annual gain in the 10-city index fell from 12.1% in August to 9.7% in September and for the 20-city composite index from 13.1% to 10.4%. From August to September the national index fell to -0.8%, while the 10- and 20-city indices were down -1.2% and -1.2%, respectively. Here we look at per capita personal income in the Case-Shiller metros. Unfortunately, data on metro-area per capita income are only available on an annual basis so we can’t monitor the current real estate market.
However, the number still remains far below the pre-pandemic active listing count of 1.14 million in November 2019. An affordability index is a measure of a population’s ability to afford to purchase a given good or the cost of living in a given area. The ACCRA Cost of Living Index provides a benchmark for comparing the cost of living across different geographic areas at the same time. Twenty individual metro-area indices for each of the cities listed above.
The 10-City Composite annual increase came in at 14.9%, down from 17.4% the previous month. The 20-City Composite posted a 16.1% year-over-year gain, down from 18.7% the previous month. The national Home Price index reported a 15.8% annual gain in July, down from 18.1% in June – the largest price deceleration in the history of the index. Annual home price growth as reported by Case-Shiller are expected to decelerate in all three indices.
S&P Case Shiller home price data is published monthly by the S&P Dow Jones. Data shown is the seasonally adjusted annual rate and is shown in total and by city. "As the Federal Reserve continues to move interest rates higher, mortgage financing continues to be more expensive, and housing becomes less affordable," Lazarra continued. "Given the continuing prospects for a challenging macroeconomic environment, home prices may well continue to weaken." Annual home price growth slowed in September as rising mortgage rates continued to test affordability for homebuyers, according to the latestS&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices report. We usually get the average and median house price data soon after the end of a month which is an advantage over the Case-Shiller numbers.
July’s year-over-year price change was positive for each one of the 20 cities with a median gain of 15.0%, but in every case, July’s gain was less than June’s,” says Lazzara. Tampa (up 31.8%) narrowly edged Miami (up 31.7%) to remain at the top of the league table for the fifth consecutive month, with Dallas (up 24.7%) holding on to third place. All 20 cities reported lower price increases in the year ending July 2022 versus the year ending June 2022. For fun, be sure and check out Denver and Portland house prices during the 1990s. House prices in New York and Boston peaked in the late 1980s and house prices in California and Washington DC peaked a bit later, right before the S&L recession started in 1990.
