The year-over-year pace of national home-price growth accelerated in November 2023, with Miami leading the way among large U.S. cities, CoreLogic reported, citing its monthly Home Price Insights report.
Specifically, national prices rose 5.2% annually after growing by 4.7% in October 2023 and 4.2% in September 2023. On a monthly basis, prices rose 0.2% from October to November. Miami home prices, meanwhile, jumped 8.3% year over year, followed by San Diego at 7.7%, Chicago at 6.5% and Boston at 6%.
Looking ahead, the CoreLogic HPI Forecast predicts home prices will dip by 0.2% on a month-over-month basis from November to December and increase 2.5% between November 2023 and November 2024.
“Home-price appreciation continued to push forward in November, despite the new highs in mortgage rates seen over the year,” Chief Economist Selma Hepp said in a press release. “And while the annual growth reflects comparison with last year’s declines, seasonal gains remain in line with historical averages. …This continued strength remains remarkable amid the nation’s affordability crunch but speaks to the pent-up demand that is driving home prices higher.”
Geographically, Idaho, Utah and Washington, D.C., were the only jurisdictions to see home-price declines, while Rhode Island (11.6%), Connecticut (10.6%) and New Jersey (10.5%) had the greatest increases.
