Home Prices Improve in Major Metro Areas
Expect to experience repercussions
A month ago Trulia launched the Trulia Price Monitor and the Trulia Rent Monitor to be used as indicators of how asking prices and rent prices are trending nationally. And the results for April are in! In this Forbes article Trulia compared these trends to trends in the previous three months and found some excellent results.
In April “quarter-over-quarter price increases were found 92 of the 100 largest metros. Meanwhile, rents rose 5.6% nationally year over year.” During 2011 the housing market hit virtual bottom, which is brilliant for those of us selling homes in 2012 because housing prices are now on the rise. Asking prices were up 1.9% since last quarter. Prices have changed from sinking lower and lower to either remaining stable or gradually rising. This has remained true throughout the past eight months.
The areas that Trulia has decided to monitor closely are the major 
metropolitan areas over our nation. Their reasoning is if the city does well the surrounding areas will feel the repercussions of success. Out of the 100 largest metro areas, 44 made the list of increased asking prices year-over-year. Why there may be increases can be attributed to job growth, housing demand and low mortgage rates.
