Home-values continued to rise in July, but at slower rate: Zillow

Median home values increased 8 percent year-over-year, to $218,000 in July, but in 20 of the 35 largest markets growth slowed modestly, according to a market analysis by Zillow released Thursday.

The slowdown was most prevalent in Seattle, Tampa, Sacramento, Calif., and Portland, Ore, the four hottest markets over the past year. In Seattle, home-value growth declined from 14.8 percent in June 2017 to 9.1 percent this July.

In Tampa, home-value growth slowed to 10.6 percent, while in Sacramento, and Portland, it clocked in at 5.7 percent.

Zillow says the slowdown is due to a slight uptick in inventory in 19 of the 35 largest markets, with the largest inventory gains happening in some of the most expensive markets, such as Seattle (+13.2%), San Jose (+46.2%), and San Diego (+36.3%).

Nationwide, inventory remains low at 3.9 percent year-over-year, and Zillow this week projected it will be at least two years before the market favors buyers.

“Home values are still growing faster in most major markets than they did historically, one reason it’s too soon to call it a buyer’s market,” according to the report. “Lower-valued homes also continue brisk gains: Homes valued in the lower third nationally rose 10.9 percent in value year-over-year, while homes valued in the top third rose at less than half that, at 4.9 percent.”

Like the for-sale market, the rental market experienced slower rent growth compared to last year. In July, median rent grew 0.5 percent year-over-year to $1,440 per month, a 1.1 percent decrease from 2017. Seattle (-5%), Portland (-0.7%), and Kansas City (-1%) had the largest declines on an annualized basis.

Meanwhile, the median rent in Riverside, Calif. increased 4.6 percent year-over-year to $1,898 — the biggest increase among the 35 largest markets included in the analysis. Sacramento and Las Vegas trailed closely behind with increases of 4.4 percent and 3.2 percent, respectively.

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...
