Month over Month (November 2022 vs. October 2022, seasonally adjusted)

The Federal Reserve continues to increase their interest rates and as mortgages become more expensive, prices on resale homes are contracting. S&P Dow Jones Indices reports that US national house prices, as measured by the S&P CoreLogic Case - Shiller Indices fell by 0.3% from the previous month. The 20-city composite and 10-city composite average both fell by 0.5%.

Month-over-month housing prices fell for 18 major urban centres and stayed the same in one. Phoenix, San Francisco, and Las Vegas reported the largest declines. Detroit was the only major urban centre posting a month-over-month increase in November. 

Year over year (November 2022 vs. November 2021, seasonally adjusted)

In the year over year comparison, National US house prices increased 7.7% in November 2022. The 20-city composite average rose by 6.8% while the 10-city composite rose by 6.3%. Housing prices were up for all 20 major urban centres with the exception of San Francisco. Miami, Tampa, and Atlanta reported the largest gains. Seattle, Portland-OR, and Los Angeles reported the slowest growth.

Year to date (January-November 2022 vs. January-November 2021, seasonally adjusted)

Trends and Comparisons

After bottoming out in 2012, US house prices grew at a steady pace up to 2020 before accelerating from summer 2020 to summer 2022.  Canadian urban house price growth (measured by the Teranet-National Bank House Price Index) grew more rapidly starting in 2016 and accelerated again in 2020. However, in recent months, house price inflation in Canada has cooled more rapidly than in the US. Canada's 11-city composite house prices remined unchanged year-over-year in December 2022.

After a long period of slow growth, house prices in Halifax started to accelerate from 2019 until July 2022. Halifax year-over-year resale house price growth slowed to 5.0% in December 2022.
