View web version of this email.

Annual Home Prices Continue to Depreciate

National home prices, including distressed sales, declined by -7.8 percent in October 2009 compared to October 2008, according to First American CoreLogic and its LoanPerformance Home Price Index (HPI). This was an improvement over September’s year-over-year price decline of -9.5 percent.* On a month-over-month basis, however, national home prices declined by -0.7 percent in October 2009 compared to September 2009.

  • Including distressed transactions, the HPI has fallen -30.1 percent from its peak in April 2006. Excluding distressed properties, the national HPI has fallen -21.5 percent from the same peak.
  • When distressed sales were included Nevada (-24.3 percent) remained the top-ranked state for annual price depreciation followed by Arizona (-17.3 percent), Florida (-15.5 percent), Michigan (-13.9 percent) and Idaho (-12.1 percent). Of these, Nevada, Florida and Michigan also showed month-over-month decreases in their HPI.
  • Excluding distressed sales, the worst five states for year-over-year price declines changes slightly. Nevada (-20.2 percent) still holds the top spot, followed by Arizona (-14.7 percent), Florida (-13.7 percent), West Virginia (-10.4 percent) and Washington (-9.4 percent).

"We are continuing to see improvements in the year-over-year home price change as prices have remained relatively stable since April," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for First American CoreLogic. "The crutches of government support for the housing market have stimulated demand and restricted supply in 2009. How these government supports are removed in 2010 will be critical to the continued stability of the housing market (more)."

*September’s decline was revised downward from –9.8 percent to –9.5 percent to reflect updated public record data. Revisions with public record data are standard, and to ensure accuracy, First American CoreLogic incorporates the newly released public data to provide updated results.
