Home prices are continuing to appreciate, just not as rapidly as before. Prices rose by 3.4% in June from the year before, according to the latest data from CoreLogic. CoreLogic Chief Economist Frank Nothaft said apathetic home sales are to blame. “Tepid home sales have caused home prices to rise at the slowest pace for the first half of a year since 2011,” Nothaft said.
