Home prices are once again on the rise. The Case-Shiller national home price index climbed 0.4% in November, the fourth straight monthly increase. The recent streak of gains represents a rebound from the string of monthly declines in the spring and summer of 2025.
Overall, the trend in home price appreciation has softened considerably compared to the post-pandemic boom years. However, the 1.4% year-ago change in November indicates that home price appreciation is still running in positive territory.
