On a month-over-month basis, all three composites declined in July. The S&P/Case-Shiller Index, however, is value-weighted, so more expensive houses have a greater influence on estimated price changes. The authors of that study consider a jump in prices as the beginning of a housing boom. That is, if prices have been increasing at around 3% a year for a few years and then they jump to 6% in one year, that jump is the beginning of the boom.
"This will be the first spring selling season since 2008 where mortgage rates are ~6%, so we're expecting a bumpy ride in general for sellers, especially if the economy is officially in a recession." Why are inventory levels spiking in some markets and flat in others? A sudden inventory spike often marks a housing market that has moved into a full-blown correction. Of course, we now know that's exactly what happened this summer in markets like Austin and Phoenix, where home values are already down 10.4% and 8.1% from their respective 2022 peaks. The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices originated in the 1980s by Case Shiller Weiss's research principals, Karl E. Case and Robert J. Shiller. At the time, Case and Shiller developed the repeat sales pricing technique.
Case-Shiller Home Price Index: National
The model identifies long-term influences on house prices, such as income trends and demographics, and cyclical factors such as unemployment and changes in mortgage rates. These scenarios enable clients to simulate the path of house prices under a range of economic conditions, as well as for stress-testing and "what if" analysis. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Indices are a group of indices that measure real estate or housing prices. They track changes in residential home prices throughout the United States.
S&P Dow Jones Indices is expected to release data for the October S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices on Tuesday, December 27. Adjusting house prices for income is a common way to look at how affordable house prices are. If house prices go up 10% but people’s incomes also go up 10%, then houses are equally affordable.
Asian markets follow Wall Street lower on inflation worries
July’s year-over-year price change was positive for each one of the 20 cities with a median gain of 15.0%, but in every case, July’s gain was less than June’s,” says Lazzara. Tampa (up 31.8%) narrowly edged Miami (up 31.7%) to remain at the top of the league table for the fifth consecutive month, with Dallas (up 24.7%) holding on to third place. All 20 cities reported lower price increases in the year ending July 2022 versus the year ending June 2022. For fun, be sure and check out Denver and Portland house prices during the 1990s. House prices in New York and Boston peaked in the late 1980s and house prices in California and Washington DC peaked a bit later, right before the S&L recession started in 1990.
The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-city home price index in the US increased 13.1% year-on-year in August of 2022, the least since February of 2021, and below forecasts of 14.4%. It marks a fourth consecutive month of slowing home price growth, compared to a downwardly revised 16% jump in the previous month. Meanwhile, the National Composite Index rose by 13% in August, down from 15.6% in July, the largest deceleration on record.
Using 1995 as the Base YearHouse Prices in January 1995 = 100
When I set the baseline back to 1990, it’s easy to see how the 1990 recession affected house prices. It took a lot of metros a lot of years to get back to 1990 prices. Case-Shiller has data for 16 of the 20 largest metropolitan areas in the United States.
When, for example, more luxury houses are sold for any reason , the average and median house prices will increase even if the underlying house values haven’t changed a cent. Lower mortgage rates only lower your monthly principal and interest payments, they don’t lower your monthly taxes and insurance payments. I assume in the graphic below that in the typical U.S. mortgage, 75% of the monthly payment goes to pay principal and interest. In states with higher property taxes, the percentage of the monthly payment going to principal and interest would be smaller.

Researchers at Morgan Stanley say those housing bulls should reconsider their stance. Investopedia requires writers to use primary sources to support their work. These include white papers, government data, original reporting, and interviews with industry experts. We also reference original research from other reputable publishers where appropriate.

However, the average and median numbers jump around a lot from month to month which makes it harder to see changes in price trends. The problem with the graph above is that it assumes there were no down payments and it doesn’t account for taxes and insurance . They all dilute the impact of lower mortgage rates on monthly mortgage payments.
In January 2021, I switched from using CPI-U as the inflation deflator to using “CPI-U Less Shelter”. Since Case-Shiller itself directly measures home price inflation, it’s better to use a deflator that doesn’t also incorporate housing price changes. Real home prices were a bit higher using “CPI-U Less Shelter” as the deflator. For example, using the year 2000 as the baseline, the inflation-adjusted Case Shiller Index for the USA in November 2020 was 151 using CPI-U, and 159 using CPI-U Less Shelter. Despite running 3 months behind, the Case-Shiller Home Price Index remains the most accurate measure of house price appreciation.
On a monthly basis, home prices dropped 1.5 percent in September, a third consecutive month of decline, with prices falling across all cities. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller 20-city home price index in the US increased only 16.1% year-on-year in July of 2022, decelerating for a third consecutive month, and below market forecasts of a 17% rise. It is also the smallest increase in home cost since April last year, with all 20 cities reporting deceleration, as the Fed continues to move interest rates up, making mortgage financing more expensive. Prices in Tampa (31.8%), Miami (31.7%), and Dallas (24.7%) rose the most while Minneapolis (9%), Washington (9.4%), and San Francisco (10.8%) recorded the smallest increases. Meanwhile, the National Composite Index rose by 15.8% in July, following an 18.1% hike in June. The -2.3% difference between those two monthly rates of gain is the largest deceleration in the history of the index.
"Given the prospects for a more challenging macroeconomic environment, home prices may well continue to decelerate”, Craig J. Lazzara, Managing Director at S&P DJI said. September brought about high interest rates and slowing sales, which continued to slow home price growth annually. While buyers are stepping aside waiting for more affordable prices and rates – causing the slowdown on price growth – would-be sellers are sticking their ground and holding tight to the inventory they currently own. As a result, prices might not continue to plunge down as much as some projections anticipate— as the available inventory of homes on the market is constrained. Every quarter, Moody’s Analytics assesses whether local fundamentals, including local income levels, can support local house prices. Thesefrothy markets include places like Boise("overvalued" by 74%) and Austin ("overvalued" by 61%).
They were developed in the 1980s by three economists and are now managed by Standard & Poor's (S&P). The data used is based on information from properties that have been purchased or sold at least twice. On a monthly basis, home prices fell across the nation in September, according to the report. The national home price index dropped 0.8% month-over-month and the 10-city and 20-city composites fell by 1.2%.
