Home Prices Rise in February

Downtown Boca Raton, Downtown Delray Beach, Downtown Ft. Lauderdale, Downtown Miami, Downtown West Palm Beach, For Sale, Real Estate News, , , , , , , , , , , ,

WASHINGTON, DC – March 25, 2009 – U.S. home prices rose 1.7 percent on a seasonally-adjusted basis from December to January, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) monthly House Price Index. In December, the FHFA first reported a 0.1 percent increase, which was later revised to a 0.2 percent decline. FHFA ( www.fhfa.gov ) regulates Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the 12 Federal Home Loan Banks as authorized by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008.

For the 12 months ending in January, U.S. prices fell 6.3 percent, and the U.S. index is 9.6 percent below its April 2007 peak.

The FHFA monthly index is calculated using the purchase price of houses sold or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. For the nine Census Divisions, seasonally-adjusted monthly price changes from December to January ranged from -0.9 percent in the Pacific Division to +3.9 percent in the East North Central Division.

Month-to-month changes in the geographic mix of sales activity explain most of the unexpected rise in prices in January. Home sales disproportionately occurred in areas with the strongest markets, according to the release issued by FHFA. “While it is difficult to perfectly control for changing geographic mix in estimating house price indexes, the data suggest that if one were to remove those effects, the change in home prices in January, while still positive, would have been far less dramatic,” according to the FHFA release.

Reported sales volume, in absolute terms, was relatively low in January. As a result, the FHFA warns that relatively large revisions could occur later.

The Types of Urban Living Homes in North America

There are many opportunities for a prospective individual or couple to get into the real estate market. Whether you are looking for a permanent residence or a real estate investment home, both the United States and Canada markets provide numerous types of housing that will suit your lifestyle and requirements. Obviously, the most expensive but most sought after urban living real estate property is a home. Not only does a private home provide you with ample space and privacy, but they are really at a premium in most major cities and towns these days as they have become quite expensive, especially homes and residences near city centers and major transportation routes. The more common real estate development now sees the construction of townhomes and townhouses which are attached dwellings that give the privacy of a home but within a residential community that is based on smaller properties for couples and families. The most urban type of real estate property on the market these days in both Canada and the United States are definitely condos or condominiums. Also called apartment residences, condos in both the United States and Canada have seen an exponential increase in both the number of units being planned and built, but also in the interest from all types of buyers and investors. Living in a high-rise residential building has its perks including amazing views, luxury amenities, features and finishes that are comparable to a custom home and of course the community aspect. With condominiums, there are penthouse suites as well as loft residences available to the real estate investor or home buyer as well.
