Florida in the top five for home price appreciation



NEW YORK - May 10, 2012 - Tighter housing inventories are starting to lift home prices, says Anand Nallathambi, CoreLogic's CEO.

CoreLogic's latest home price index, which includes distressed sales, shows a slight month-over-month nationwide increase of 0.6 percent in home prices from February to March. But some markets are seeing much more of a price boost this spring, including Florida, which ranked No. 5 overall for home price increases.

"This spring, the housing market is responding to an improving balance between real estate supply and demand, which is causing stabilization in house prices," says Mark Fleming, CoreLogic's chief economist. "Although this has been the case in each of the last two years, the difference this year is that stabilization is occurring without the support of tax credits and in spite of a declining share of REO sales."

States with highest appreciation

According to CoreLogic, the following states had the highest appreciation in March (this includes distressed sales):

  • Wyoming: +5.9%
  • West Virginia: +5.3%
  • Arizona: +5.1%
  • North Dakota: +4.7%
  • Florida: +4.5%


  • States with biggest depreciation

    Meanwhile, the states with the greatest depreciation, when also figuring in distressed sales, are:

  • Delaware: -10.6%
  • Illinois: -8.3%
  • Alabama: -8%
  • Georgia: -7.3%
  • Nevada: -5.8%
