Case Shiller Housing Index: December 2012: US Home Prices Continue To Rise

US Housing prices continued to rise at a pace of about 6% to 7% on a year-over-year basis in December 2012.  The Case Shiller Composite 10 and Composite 20 rose 5.9% and 6.8%, respectively, during 2012 over 2011.

The South Florida housing market continued to show better than average price increases during December 2012.  Home prices increased 10.6% in December 2012 over December 2011.  Sequentially, the market was up 80 basis points, almost a full percentage point.

To quote from the Case Shiller report, "Home prices ended 2012 with solid gains," says David M. Blitzer, Chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "Housing and residential construction led the economy in the 2012 fourth quarter."

With a shortage of inventory in the local South Florida market, I foresee a continuation of the sequential uptick until we start to see more inventory reach the market place.
