Cutting Through the Noise: Various Home Price Measure
2. Highlights
• On a month-to-month basis home prices rose slightly in November as measured by
NAR, FHFA, and CoreLogic’s distressed-excluded measure. Declines in November
were measured by Case Shiller and CoreLogic’s full market index. On a year over
year basis, small declines persist across measures in November within the range that
has been typical of recent months.
• NAR data show a monthly increase for December and suggest that the decline
from December one year ago is smaller than in the 2 previous months.
• New home prices continue to fluctuate greatly due to low levels of construction
and purchase activity.
• Distressed sales, which hold back existing home prices, comprised 32 percent
of sales in a recent survey of Realtors—down from nearly 40 percent a year
ago but slightly above the recently typical 30 percent mark. The seasonal
slowdown in sales may explain the increase in distressed sales as a share of total
sales even as the number of distressed sales remains largely constant.
• The increase in the share of distressed sales may lower reported transaction
prices somewhat—especially as seen in the Case-Shiller and CoreLogic indexes.
3. Outlook
• From a broad perspective, many of the same trends continue to dominate the
outlook. Low inventories, declining delinquency rates, and stable or increasing
foot traffic should help to support prices, though buyers searching for the
right home may have fewer options from which to choose. Very limited new
construction means that buyers initially searching for a new home may find
more selection among existing homes.
• Client pricing expectations may continue to present challenges. Data from the
Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers show that sellers typically sold their
homes for 95% of the listing price, and 61% reduced the asking price at least
once.
• Affordability remains high and job hiring data is showing signs of
improvement. An improving economy coupled with affordability could
provide a needed jolt to primary residence sales. In fact, blue-chip economists
believe that a technical bottom to the market is at hand.

*All data are not seasonally adjusted. Monthly changes should typically be computed only for
Seasonally Adjusted (SA) data. Because these change rates are often covered in the media
regardless of their suitability for analysis, they are presented here but should be used with
caution. Annual (yr-over-yr) changes computed for Not Seasonally Adjusted (NSA) data give a
measure that is not affected by seasonal fluctuations.
