Half the cities on Case-Shiller are seeing all-time high home prices

Single-family listings are at all-time highs in 10 of the 20 the regions tracked on this month’s S&P CoreLogic Case Shiller home price index numbers.

Bespoke Investment first pointed out the milestone over at the financial blog Seeking Alpha. The index as a whole showed a 6.3 percent year-over-year gain for home prices in February, released earlier this week. Home prices, according to the index, showed no sign of slowing and were similar to rising home prices in the 15 years before the financial crisis.

When you break those numbers down from the national to the regional level, the all-time highs are now standing in half of the real estate markets–reaching or exceeding levels seen before 2008.

San Diego and Los Angeles are now at all-time highs. Los Angeles saw a 1.03 percent monthly change and a 8.3 percent year-over-year change, while San Diego saw a 1.11 percent monthly and 7.6 percent year-over-year jump.

Many of the cities covered by the index had previously already reached all-time highs post-recession. The addition of Los Angeles and San Diego is enough to ensure that now more than half are at all-time highs.

Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Dallas, Denver, Portland, Oregon, San Francisco and Seattle are also at all-time highs.

Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Las Vegas, Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Phoenix, Tampa and Washington, D.C. are not.

The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index is a composite of single-family home price indices that is calculated every month. The indices are calculated using estimates of the aggregate value of single-family housing stock.

The Ultimate Guide To Family Law

Introduction The government has always had a fascination with families and the contract of marriage. State legislatures have passed many laws regulating the requirements for getting married and for obtaining a divorce. In addition, today’s laws also affect couples who live together outside of marriage. It is hard to give simple answers to many of the legal questions that a person may have about marriage, parenthood, separation, or divorce because the laws change and vary from one state to another. In addition, judges in different states with identical laws may decide cases with similar facts in different ways. This article describes the laws and court rulings common to most states. If you have other questions, please contact a lawyer in your state. You may also wish to contact a specialist. Many lawyers (particularly in urban areas) work only on family law or make it a large part of their general practice. Lawyers specializing in family law also may refer to themselves as specialist...

Three Ways To Position Yourself As A Real Estate Influencer

Have you met HENRY? An acronym that stands for “high earners not rich yet,”  HENRY describes a subset of the population on the cusp of becoming wealthy with annual household incomes over $100,000. While not confined to one specific generation, today’s HENRYs are increasingly made up of millennials. HENRYs effectively represent the gatekeepers of future wealth, and as such are an important audience for real estate professionals to begin building relationships with now. We know that millennials differ greatly from previous generations in a number of ways. They tend to have more varied and nonlinear career paths , get married and start families later in life  and prioritize their spending on experiences rather than things. As millennial HENRYs accumulate more wealth, I believe real estate professionals must understand how this distinctive segment will approach buying and selling homes — and selecting the professionals who will help them do so. To help us better understand...

Amazon is reportedly getting close to finalizing the location of its  $5 billion, 50,000-job  second headquarters following a nationwide reverse-contest of sorts, wherein the tech company accepted bids and presentations from different city governments on why they should be the one to land Amazon HQ2. And now it appears that three locations are currently in the lead: Virginia’s Crystal City, Dallas and New York City. After speaking to people familiar with Amazon’s plans, The Wall Street Journal reported  this weekend that the search for the second headquarters has narrowed from the 20 cities originally shortlisted as potential locations. Discussions around Denver, Toronto, Atlanta, Nashville, Tenn., and Raleigh, N.C. have cooled somewhat while Amazon’s team has been having more talks with representatives of the other three cities. Amazon’s impact on home affordability has been a major consideration, as the tech giant’s presence in Seattle has both created nume...
