By the Numbers: Inflation erodes home values for ninth straight month
Rising inflation is continuing to chip away at home values across the country for the ninth month in a row.
Though home prices are still ticking up, their gains lag far behind the broader cost of living. In February, the S&P Cotality Case-Shiller National Home Price Index inched up just 0.7 percent year over year, the lowest growth rate since June 2023. It’s also a third of the increase of the Consumer Price Index for all goods in the U.S., which rose about 2.4 percent year over year. Meanwhile, core inflation — a measure that excludes food and energy prices, which can swing wildly — rose about 2.5 percent year over year.
