Home price growth continued to slow in October, growing at a rate of 3.60% year-over-year, according to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Index (seasonally adjusted – SA). This marks a decline from the 3.90% growth rate recorded in September and represents the seventh consecutive drop in the annual growth rate since reaching a peak of 6.54% in March 2024. As shown in the graph below, the index level has experienced monthly declines since July.

In addition to tracking national home price changes, the S&P CoreLogic Index (SA) also reports home price indexes across 20 metro areas. Compared to last year, all 20 metro areas reported a home price increase. There were 11 metro areas that grew more than the national rate of 3.60%. The highest annual rate was New York at 7.31%, followed by Chicago at 6.27% and Las Vegas at 5.93%.

A similar index, the Federal Housing Finance Agency Home Price Index (SA) publishes not only national data but also data by census division. The national year-over-year rate was 4.43% for October. Meanwhile, the division with the highest year-over-year rate was 6.95% in the Middle Atlantic, while the lowest was 2.30% in the Pacific. A three-month trend in rates is shown for each division below. The FHFA Home Price Index releases their metro and state data on a quarterly basis, which NAHB analyzed in a previous post.
