The good news train continued rolling in June with the release of Trulia’s latest Price Monitor.
Asking prices in the Miami area rose a hefty 14.6 percent year-over-year in June, according to the latest Price Monitor from Trulia; based on listing data from its website, Trulia’s Price Monitor anticipates price growth in the industry’s other major home price indices.
Miami’s yearly asking price growth was good for the fourth best in the entire nation, and among large metro areas, only one saw stronger price growth than Miami; additionally, Miami’s 5.4 percent quarterly increase was the best among large areas, and its asking rents rose a formidable 10.1 percent.
Nationally, however, asking prices continued to slow, with yearly and quarterly increases coming in at 8.1 and 2.6 percent, respectively; though still positive, those increases were behind June 2013’s 9.5 and 3.1 percent.
