The average prices of single-family houses with mortgages guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the US increased 1.5% from a month earlier in March of 2022, easing from a revised record 1.9% rise in February. Considering Q1, house prices rose 18.7% from a year earlier and were up 4.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. Of the nine census divisions, the Mountain division recorded the strongest four-quarter appreciation, posting a 24.0% yearly gain and a 5.7% quarterly increase. Annual house price appreciation was weakest in the Middle Atlantic division, where prices rose by 14.6% from a year earlier. "Strong demand coupled with tight supply have kept prices climbing. Through the end of March, higher mortgage rates have not yet translated into slower price gains, but new home sales have dropped during the last few months, with a significant falloff in April." said William Doerner, Ph.D., Supervisory Economist in FHFA's Division of Research and Statistics. source: Federal Housing Finance Agency

US Home Prices Rise the Most in 7 Months: FHFA
The average prices of single-family houses with mortgages guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the United States increased 1.6 percent from a month earlier in January of 2022, the most in seven months and accelerating from an upwardly revised 1.3 percent gain in December. For the nine census divisions, monthly house price changes ranged from +0.1 percent in the New England division to +2.2 percent in the South Atlantic division. Year-on-year, house prices advanced 18.2 percent in January, up from 17.7 percent. “Rising mortgage rates in January certainly reflect a major change from the past several years, but lending costs remain relatively low. The mortgage rate shift has not dampened upward price pressure from intense borrower demand and limited supply”, said Will Doerner, Ph.D., Supervisory Economist in FHFA’s Division of Research and Statistics.
