Let’s have a look at the latest data from the Case-Shiller Home Price Index<\/a>. According to August data that was released today, Seattle-area home prices were:<\/p>\n

Up<\/strong> 0.3 percent November to December
\nUp<\/strong> 9.9 percent YOY.
\nDown<\/em> 2.9 percent from the July 2007 peak<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Over the same period in 2014 prices were up 0.1 percent month-over-month and year-over-year prices were up 6.5 percent.<\/p>\n

The Seattle area’s month-over-month home price change was positive in December, but not quite as high as it was in November. The year-over-year price change is inching back up almost into double digits, as well. The only possible sign of relief for home buyers is that the increase in year-over-year price gains is slowing just slightly.<\/p>\n

Here’s a Tableau Public<\/a> interactive graph of the year-over-year change for all twenty Case-Shiller-tracked cities. Check and un-check the boxes on the right to modify which cities are showing:<\/p>\n
