Home Price Growth Outpaces Inflation

Ahead of the Curve: Home Price Growth Outpaces Inflation
#realestate #cashbuyerslists #homeprices #corelogic #salesgrowth #sales #house #housesales #risingsales #rising #propety #forsale #price #index

Home prices continue to chart growth, rising on an annual basis to outpace inflation, according to CoreLogics recently released Home Price Index (HPI) for January 2017. Prices increased 0.7 percent month-over-month and 6.9 percent year-over-year. A combination of factors is driving momentum ahead of the curve, says Dr. Frank Nothaft, chief economist of CoreLogic. "With lean for-sale inventories and low rental vacancy rates, many markets have seen housing prices outpace inflation," Nothaft says. "Over the 12 months through January of this year, the CoreLogic Home Price Index recorded a 6.9 percent rise in home prices nationally and the CoreLogic Single-Family Rental Index was up 2.7 percent-both rising faster than inflation."

Smart agents understand the urgency to make simple, high-impact changes that create true uniqueness. Here are a few ideas to create a top-value experience that makes you stand out from the crowd...Read More> http://bit.ly/RECBL-March9

Selling a home can be a stressful experience for most homeowners. It’s your job as an agent to keep sellers calm and focused on the big picture; however, when it comes to home inspections, most homeowners aren’t used to having a stranger peer into their attic, open every cupboard and closet or test every appliance.
