“Those of us who have been anticipating a deceleration in the growth rate of U.S. home prices will have to wait at least a month longer,” stated Craig Lazzara, handling director at S&P DJI. “All 20 cities saw double-digit price increases for the 12 months ended in March, and price growth in 17 cities accelerated relative to February’s report.”
Cities seeing the tiniest rate gains, albeit still in double digits from a year back, were Minneapolis (+124%), Washington (+129%) and Chicago (+13%).

Demand, nevertheless, is still high, and realty representatives report that they are still seeing several deals for houses that are priced properly. More supply is likewise beginning the marketplace, as sellers stress they will lose out on the last days of the hot market.
“Mortgages are becoming more expensive as the Federal Reserve has begun to ratchet up interest rates, suggesting that the macroeconomic environment may not support extraordinary home price growth for much longer. Although one can safely predict that price gains will begin to decelerate, the timing of the deceleration is a more difficult call,” included Lazzara.
