Home Price Growth Continues to Slow

Nationally, home prices are still growing, albeit modestly–with leading indicators showing that home prices rose between 0.7% and 2% in the last year. Yet, regional markets tell a different story. Prices are dropping in specific areas across the West and Sun Belt (such as Austin and Miami) where housing markets ramped up construction to meet pandemic demand. While inventory is starting to turn around in the Midwest and Northeast (including Newark, NJ; Nassau County, NY; Chicago; and Detroit), a severe shortage of inventory still exists, driving up home prices.

The median home price nationwide is $429,300, but regional averages vary considerably. Prices are higher than average in the Northwest ($534,900) and the West ($625,900), and lower in the Midwest ($336,300) and the South ($373,100). Local demand has its own impact, creating price variability within cities and towns. For example, homeowners who aren’t concerned about school districts or other specific draws may be able to find more affordable options in a town or community neighboring a highly desired area.
