Nationally, the median sales price jumped 10 percent on an annual basis, to $178,900 -- the strongest annual price increase since fourth-quarter 2005 when the median rose 13.6 percent, NAR said.
More housing construction is needed to relieve some of the pressure in the market and keep home prices from overheating, Yun added.
NAR said some of the price growth could be attributed to a shrinking share of lower-priced homes. Distressed properties, typically sold at a discount compared to traditional homes, accounted for 23 percent of sales in the fourth quarter, down from 30 percent in fourth-quarter 2011, the report said.

The increase in the national median home price last quarter was partly driven by inventory shortages in the West that helped push up the median price in that region 20.1 percent year over year, to $245,200. Existing-home sales in the West rose by the smallest share of the four regions last quarter, 5 percent on an annual basis to a seasonally adjusted rate of 1.19 million.
In the South, existing-home sales rose 13.2 percent on an annual basis last quarter, to 1.95 million. The region's median sales price increased 9.1 percent year over year to $160,100.
