Slowing Home Price Appreciation
No real surprise here – after a sharp bounce back off the bottom, particularly in core markets, home prices appear to be leveling off. Overall, this is probably not bad news, indicating that housing could be entering a period of stability after some volatility over the past few years. The spillover effect of this leveling on the land market could mean a stabilization in land prices, as well, which have been somewhat of a moving target so far during this recovery. \
