While the US market as gauged by the Case Shiller Composite-10 and Composite-20 was up 1.1% on a sequential basis in May 2014, the South Florida market showed appreciation of 1.2%. On an annual basis, South Florida saw home prices appreciate by 13.2% in May 2014, over May 2013, versus only a 9.3% increase for the US (i.e., Composites).
For the US a whole, David Blitzer, Chairman of the Case Shiller Index Committee pointed out, "home prices rose at their slowest pace since February of last year." He further stated, "housing has been turning in mixed economic numbers in the last few months. Prices and sales of existing homes have shown improvement while construction and sales of new homes continue to lag."
Concerning average US home prices, Case Shiller notes they are back to summer of 2004 levels. Regarding the decline since the peak prices of June/July 2006, the Composites have declined by about 17% to 18%, according to Case Shiller. The Index also notes, price recovery for the US market from the March 2012 low has been around 26.5% to 27.3%.
