U.S. Home Prices Rose 9.5% in November Compared to Previous Year. It’s the largest year-over-year jump since 2014!
The Tuesday report, from CoreLogic S&P Case-Shiller, was just another data point backing up a broader trend: The housing market has been hot. And people are moving into new houses quicker than home builders can produce them.
Low mortgage rates as a result of the pandemic have been encouraging home buying, and real-estate agents say people are moving out of cities into stand-alone homes to get more space. That has pushed home prices higher for months. So now, some economists are worried that affordability issues could slow down the housing boom.
