Home prices rising

CoreLogic’s February CoreLogic HPI® report shows that home prices increased 10.2 percent year over years in February, representing the biggest year-to-year increase since March 2006. On a month-over-month basis, including distressed sales, home prices increased by 0.5 percent in February 2013 compared with January 2013.
The CoreLogic Pending HPI indicates that March 2013 home prices, including distressed sales, are also expected to rise by 10.2 percent on a year-over-year basis from March 2012 and rise by 1.2 percent on a month-over-month basis from February 2013. Excluding distressed sales, March 2013 home prices are poised to rise 11.4 percent year over year from March 2012 and by 2.0 percent month over month from February 2013. The CoreLogic Pending HPI is a proprietary and exclusive metric that provides the most current indication of trends in home prices. It is based on Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data that measure price changes for the most recent month.
“The rebound in prices is heavily driven by western states. Eight of the top ten highest appreciating large markets are in California, with Phoenix and Las Vegas rounding out the list,” said Dr. Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic.

This especially true in San Francisco and Marin.  Multiple offers and over asking priced sales!
