SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--First American Data & Analytics, a leading national provider of property-centric information, risk management and valuation solutions and a division of First American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF), today released its December 2024 Home Price Index (HPI) report. The report tracks home price changes less than four weeks behind real time at the national, state and metropolitan (Core-Based Statistical Area) levels and includes metropolitan price tiers that segment sale transactions into starter, mid and luxury tiers. The full report can be found here. December1 Home Price Index Dallas-Plano-Irving Market Metric Change in HPI November-December 2024 (month over month) -0.1 percent December 2023-December 2024 (year over year) +0.7 percent National HPI Metric Change in HPI November-December 2024 (month over month) +0.1 percent December 2023-December 2024 (year over year) +3.9 percent Chief Economist National HPI Analysis: “House price growth nationally started 2024 strong at a 7 percent annualized pace of growth but gradually slowed over the course of the year, ending in the high 3 percent year-over-year growth range. Higher mortgage rates in the latter half of the year, combined with higher inventory levels, triggered the cooling trend. If similar conditions persist through 2025, we should expect very moderate price appreciation,” said Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American. “Areas with rapid supply growth that outstrips demand may face stronger moderation or even price declines, while areas with limited new supply may see steadier price growth or even price reacceleration. The structural housing shortage nationally will keep a floor on how low prices can go, but a ‘higher-for-longer’ rate environment and inventory growth could cause further price moderation.” Year-Over-Year Price-Tier Data for the Dallas-Plano-Irving Metro Area: December 2023 to December 2024 The First American Data & Analytics HPI segments home price changes at the metropolitan level into three price tiers based on local market sales data: starter tier, which represents home sales prices at the bottom third of the market price distribution; mid-tier, which represents home sales prices in the middle third of the market price distribution; and the luxury tier, which represents home sales prices in the top third of the market price distribution. CBSA Starter Mid-Tier Luxury Dallas-Plano-Irving -0.6% +0.3% +3.3% “House price growth has varied considerably at the regional level over the last year, largely driven by differences in for-sale inventories. As more homes become available, the power dynamics can shift in favor of buyers, putting downward pressure on prices,” said Fleming. “All else equal, house price growth in markets with higher inventory of homes available for sale will weaken compared to those with low inventory relative to demand.” December 2024 First American Data & Analytics Price Tier HPI Highlights2 Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) Ranked by Greatest Year-Over-Year Increases in Starter Tier HPI CBSA Change in Starter Tier HPI Change in Mid- Tier HPI Change in Luxury Tier HPI Pittsburgh +9.5 percent +2.7 percent +4.0 percent Cambridge, Mass. +6.0 percent +7.6 percent +6.8 percent New York +5.3 percent +5.2 percent +3.7 percent St. Louis +5.1 percent +2.9 percent +4.2 percent Anaheim, Calif. +5.0 percent +7.0 percent +6.6 percent Additional December 2024 First American Data & Analytics HPI Highlights Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) with Greatest Year-Over-Year Increases in HPI CBSA Change in HPI Anaheim, Calif. +6.1 percent Cambridge, Mass. +6.0 percent Pittsburgh +5.8 percent Las Vegas +4.4 percent Warren, Mich. +4.3 percent Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSAs) with a Year-Over-Year Decease in HPI Tampa, Fla. -4.6 percent Oakland, Calif. -0.8 percent Austin, Texas -0.2 percent Los Angeles -0.1 percent San Antonio +0.5 percent HPI data for all 50 states and the largest 30 CBSAs by population is available here.

Next Release The next release of the First American Data & Analytics House Price Index will take place the week of February 17, 2025. First American Data & Analytics HPI Methodology The First American Data & Analytics HPI report measures single-family home prices, including distressed sales, with indices updated monthly beginning in 1980 through the month of the current report. HPI data is provided at the national, state and CBSA levels and includes preliminary index estimates for the month prior to the report (i.e. the preliminary result of July transactions is reported in August). The most recent index results are subject to revision as data from more transactions become available. The HPI uses a repeat-sales methodology, which measures price changes for the same property over time using more than 46 million paired transactions to generate the indices. In non-disclosure states, the HPI utilizes a combination of public sales records, MLS sold and active listings, and appraisal data to estimate house prices. This comprehensive approach is particularly effective in areas where there is limited availability of accurate sale prices, such as non-disclosure states. Property type, price and location data are used to create more refined market segment indices. Real Estate-Owned transactions are not included.
