A new monthly report shows that house prices in the Twin Cities metro, including foreclosures and short sales, increased by 9.0 percent in March 2014 compared with last year,according to CoreLogic's House Price Indicator. From February to March house prices in the Twin Cities increased by 0.7 percent.
That was the ninth-biggest year-over-year gain among the nation's largest metro areas and only slightly below the national average, which stood at 11.1 percent.
CoreLogic's HPI is a unique look at what's happening to house prices because it tracks repeat-sales of the same homes over time, including single-family attached and single-family detached homes. Stay tuned for the April sales report from the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors, which we'll publish here on May 12. That report will include closings, pending sales and a detailed look at what's selling in this area.
