Corelogic Case-Shiller Index Slows in June

U.S. house prices rose 17.7 percent from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022, including a 4 percent quarter-to-quarter hike, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency House Price Index.

FHFA’s seasonally adjusted monthly index for June was up 0.1 percent from May.

“Housing prices grew quickly through most of the second quarter of 2022, but a deceleration has appeared in the June monthly data,” FHFA Supervisory Economist in the Division of Research and Statistics William Doerner said. “The pace of growth has subsided recently, which is consistent with other recent housing data.”
