How fast are home prices growing in my state?

Since skyrocketing from the extreme demand of rock-bottom mortgage rates in 2020 and 2021, the pace of housing value growth continues to decelerate.

Single-family home prices rose 3.3% annually in January, according to CoreLogic’s Home Price Index (HPI). Additionally, prices inched up 0.04% month-over-month.

“Flattening home price changes over the last six months suggest further price deceleration is ahead. More importantly, compressed monthly changes highlight the general lack of home buying demand that continues to characterize the current housing market,” said Selma Hepp, chief economist at CoreLogic.

“While this year’s cold winter and large natural disasters play a role in dampening demand, falling consumer sentiment suggests potential home buyers are wary of the short-term economic outlook and future inflation. Nevertheless, with the spring home buying season upon us, the recent improvements in mortgage rates may help invite home buyers back into the market.”

CoreLogic forecast prices to hold from January to February and a 3.6% bump by January 2026.

At the state level, Connecticut led the nation with an 8.55% annual gain. Rhode Island (7.65%) and New Hampshire (7.53%) came next, with New Jersey (7.12%) and New York (6.78%) rounding out the top five. Hawaii (-4.37%) had the lowest yearly growth and only state to go negative. Above that, came modest increases in Washington, D.C. (0.1%), Florida (0.25%), Louisiana (1.07%), and Texas (1.18%).

On a month-over-month basis, Wyoming properties saw the biggest boost (1.26%). Next were Mississippi (1.06%), Arkansas (0.78%), Delaware (0.51%), and Rhode Island (0.47%). A total of 27 states experienced monthly declines in January. Montana (-1.24%) led the list of drops, followed by Vermont (-1%), North Dakota (-0.92%), Minnesota (-0.88%), and Utah (-0.77%).
