Corelogic a leading property information provider recently ran a report about rising home prices in the nation.

What does this mean for Bronx homeowners or people that would like to own a home in Bronx New York?

It means that if your are sitting back and waiting to make your next or first home purchase, your already going to pay on average about 11.1% more for the average home over what you would have paid last March 2013. It may seem like you have missed your chance to get a great deal? But actually you have not!

The report goes on to say

“Home prices continue to rise across the nation, but affordability, tight credit and supply concerns are becoming an increasing drag on purchase market activity. In many markets-especially major metro areas like Los Angeles, Atlanta and New York- home prices are being driven up at double-digit rates fueled by a lack of inventory and record levels of cash purchases.”

Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic
