Top 10 States With Surging Home Prices | Waccabuc Homes

-
With the help of low interest rates and inventory levels, the rebound in home prices has attracted a significant amount of attention in recent years. In fact, the housing market is posting the best appreciation gains since the bubble years. However, some states are clearly witnessing more strength than others.

In February, home prices across the nation surged 12.2 percent from a year earlier, according to the latest report from CoreLogic. That is the 24th consecutive month of year-over-year price gains. On a month-over-month basis, home prices increased by 0.8 percent in February compared to January, but remain 16.9 percent below their April 2006 peak.
 
“As the spring home-buying season kicks off, house price appreciation continues to be strong,” said Dr. Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. “Although prices should remain strong in the near term due to a short supply of homes on the market, price increases should moderate over the next year as home equity releases pent-up supply.”

Home prices in Colorado, Nebraska, North Dakota, Texas, and Washington D.C. all reached new all time highs in February. Overall, 22 states are now at or within 10 percent of their home price peaks. Let’s take a look at the top 10 real estate markets by by state, according to year-over-year price gains from CoreLogic

Top 20 real estate websites in June | Mount Kisco Real Estate

-
Last year, Realtor.com and Yahoo Real Estate battled it out for the top position in the monthly real estate website rankings maintained by Web metrics firm Experian Hitwise . So far this year, Zillow has been king of the hill, having bumped Yahoo Real Estate from the top spot in March. Jockeying for the spots below first place has also been fierce, with Trulia jumping two positions into second place on the Hitwise list in June. Trulia leapfrogged over third-place Realtor.com, bumping Yahoo Real Estate into third place in the process. AOL Real Estate, meanwhile, moved up two positions from May to June, but there were no new websites in the top 10.
