Case-Shiller Home Price Index: May 2012: National Price declines declerating, South Florida Showing Good Signs: Homes For Sale: Homes For Rent

The Case-Shiller Home Price Index showed an annual price decline of about 1.0% for the US composites in May 2012; this compares with a 2.2% decline for April. On a sequential basis home prices were actually up by 2.2%.

The Chairman of the S&P Index said, "we saw a continuing trend of rising home prices for the spring."  In the Chase-Shiller report announcement, the South Florida market was highlighted as showing positive annual rates of change.

I am noticing lower levels of inventory in the South Florida housing market as well as a sustained level of interest.  If these trends continue, I would expect to see home prices continue to rise in the South Florida market.

Areas of interest:

May-12 Monthly Sequential Annual
Metropolitan Area Level Change Change
Boston 150.67 2.40% -0.10%
Chicago 108.62 4.50% -3.00%
Miami 143.35 1.40% 3.40%
Minneapolis 113.47 3.10% 4.70%
New York 160.4 1.40% -2.80%
Tampa 130.26 2.00% 2.50%
Composite 10 151.79 2.20% -1.00%
Composite 20 138.96 2.20% -0.70%
