New information from the S&P/Case-Shiller national home price index shows the average prices of homes in July 2012 rebounded to the same levels as July 2003. The typical home price has risen by 5.9% for 2012 to date. It marks the third straight month that prices in all 20 major markets have improved, and we continue to see growth in year-over-year changes.
This news continues to confirm the upward trends we have seen in the housing industry. The Wisconsin housing market continues to show even more growth, with 32.4% greater sales than July 2011. With foreclosure activity and inventories down, home sales at higher values have furthered the growth during 2012. Record-low mortgage rates, currently at 3.25%*, have also created great incentives for buyers in the market. For more information or questions about mortgages, contact Wisconsin Mortgage Corporation.
