Case Shiller Housing Index: July 2015: Home Sellers in Boca Raton Area Enjoying Price Increases

Sellers in the Delray Beach and surrounding areas continue to enjoy positive momentum in the housing market.  Whether you are seeking to sell your condo or looking to downsize from a single family home to a villa style residence, the sellers are benefiting from tight inventory and positive economic news.

David M. Blitzer, Managing Director of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices commented in the July Case Shiller Home Price Index report, "prices of existing homes and housing overall are seeing strong growth and contributing to recent solid growth for the economy."  He also mentioned, "other positive indicators of current and expected future housing activity include gains in sales of new and existing housing and the National Association of Home Builders sentiment index.  An interest rate increase by the Federal Reserve, now expected in December by many analysts, is not likely to derail the strong housing performance."


For the US, measured from the peak of the market home prices to the current declines is about 11% to 13%.  Since the bottom, the US housing market prices have recovered by about 34% to 36% to today's prices.
