CoreLogic US Home Price Report Shows Prices Up 6.9 Percent in January 2017
—Forecast Indicates Increase of 4.8 Percent by January 2018—
IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CoreLogic® (NYSE: CLGX), a leading global property
information, analytics and data-enabled solutions provider, today
released its CoreLogic Home Price Index (HPI™) and HPI
Forecast™ for January 2017 which shows home prices are up
both year over year and month over month.
Home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, increased year over
year by 6.9 percent in January 2017 compared with January 2016 and
increased month over month by 0.7 percent in January 2017 compared with December
2016,* according to the CoreLogic HPI.
The CoreLogic HPI Forecast indicates that home prices will increase by
4.8 percent on a year-over-year basis from January 2017 to January 2018,
and on a month-over-month basis home prices are expected to increase by
0.1 percent from January 2017 to February 2017. The CoreLogic HPI
Forecast is a projection of home prices using the CoreLogic HPI and
other economic variables. Values are derived from state-level forecasts
by weighting indices according to the number of owner-occupied
households for each state.
“With lean for-sale inventories and low rental vacancy rates, many
markets have seen housing prices outpace inflation,” said Dr. Frank
Nothaft, chief economist for CoreLogic. “Over the 12 months through
January of this year, the CoreLogic Home Price Index recorded a 6.9
percent rise in home prices nationally and the CoreLogic Single-Family
Rental Index was up 2.7 percent—both rising faster than inflation.”
“Home prices continue to climb across the nation, and the spring home
buying season is shaping up to be one of the strongest in recent
memory,” said Frank Martell, president and CEO of CoreLogic. “A potent
mix of progressive economic recovery, demographics, tight housing stocks
and continued low mortgage rates are expected to support this robust
market outlook for the foreseeable future. We expect the CoreLogic Home
Price Index to rise 4.8 percent nationally over the next 12 months,
buoyed by lack of supply and continued high demand.”
Methodology
The CoreLogic HPI™
is built on industry-leading public record, servicing and securities
real-estate databases and incorporates more than 40 years of
repeat-sales transactions for analyzing home price trends. Generally
released on the first Tuesday of each month with an average five-week
lag, the CoreLogic HPI is designed to provide an early indication of
home price trends by market segment and for the Single-Family Combined
tier representing the most comprehensive set of properties (including
all sales for Single-Family Attached and Single-Family Detached
properties). The indexes are fully revised with each release and employ
techniques to signal turning points sooner. The CoreLogic HPI provides
measures for multiple market segments, referred to as tiers, based on
property type, price, time between sales, loan type (conforming vs.
non-conforming) and distressed sales. Broad national coverage is
available from the national level down to ZIP Code, including
non-disclosure states.
CoreLogic HPI Forecasts™ are
based on a two-stage, error-correction econometric model that combines
the equilibrium home price—as a function of real disposable income per
capita—with short-run fluctuations caused by market momentum,
mean-reversion, and exogenous economic shocks like changes in the
unemployment rate. With a thirty-year forecast horizon, CoreLogic HPI
Forecasts project CoreLogic HPI levels for two tiers—Single-Family
Combined (both Attached and Detached) and Single-Family Combined
excluding distressed sales. As a companion to the CoreLogic HPI
Forecasts, Stress-Testing Scenarios align with Comprehensive Capital
Analysis and Review (CCAR) national scenarios to project five years of
home prices under baseline, adverse and severely adverse scenarios at
state, CBSA and ZIP Code-levels. The forecast accuracy represents a
95-percent statistical confidence interval with a +/- 2.0 percent margin
of error for the index.
