Home prices in the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metropolitan statistical area increased by 6.8% in November compared with the year-ago period, a new report from CoreLogic shows.
On a month-over-month basis, home prices, including distressed sales, increased by 0.8% in November compared with October.
Nationwide, home prices nationally year over year by 7% from November 2016 to November 2017, and on a month-over-month basis home prices increased by 1% in November compared with October, CoreLogic reports.
Looking ahead, the CoreLogic forecast indicates that home prices will increase by 4.2% on a year-over-year basis from November 2017 to November 2018, and on a month-over-month basis home prices are expected to decrease by 0.4% from November to December.
"Rising home prices are good news for home sellers, but add to the challenges that home buyers face," said Frank Nothaft, chief economist for CoreLogic. "Growing numbers of first-time buyers find limited for-sale inventory for lower-priced homes, leading to both higher rates of price growth for 'starter' homes and further erosion of affordability."
