National Home Price Indicators into 2022

The CoreLogic Home Price Indicator (HPI) Forecast indicates that home prices will increase by +3.5% y/y from December 2021 to December 2022 due to consistent consumer demand for homeownership and persistent low supply of for-sale homes.

Dr. Frank Nothaft, chief economist with CoreLogic, said, “Much of what we’ve seen in the run-tup of home prices over the last year has been the result of a perfect storm of supply and demand pressures.  As we move further into 2022, economic forecasts – such as new home building and a rise in mortgage rates – are in motion to help relieve some of this pressure and steadily temper the rapid home price acceleration seen in 2021.”

All 50 states posted home price increases in December 2021.  States with the highest price increases y/y were Arizona at +28.4%, Florida at +27.1% and Utah at +25.2%
