As you can see, all 20 metros saw double digit price growth in October 2021 and national home prices were +48% higher than the previous peak in terms of price growth. However, if you were to adjust price levels for inflation, national home prices are only +11% higher than the previous peak particularly because inflation growth during the second half of 2021 led to the slowing of real price increases.
Price Growth by Market Tiers
The low-and high-tiers of the market averaged monthly price growth gains of +0.8% and +0.6%, respectively. The middle tier of the market showed more weakened price growth in October.
