The pace of home price appreciation is cooling off speedily as the weather warms up. May 8.8 percent on year growth rate is down almost 3 percent from just 3 months ago,’ said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. The influence of diffidently rising inventory and less than expected demand are cause price growth to moderate toward our forecasted prospect,’ he added.

While the rapid rise in prices over the past 2 years has lifted many home owners out of negative impartiality, it has also become a negative factor in buying decisions for potential purchaser weighing affordability concerns. As we move ahead, a control in home price increases over the next 1 years should help cool things down a bit and keep the housing recovery going,’ he explained.
