Weekly Market Activity Report For Week Ending November 18, 2017

Home price appreciation is on the rise in most of the country, which is welcome
news for any homeowner that experienced a time when it was not. Although trends
vary by region and state, the overarching trend is increased prices, according to
research performed by the National Association of REALTORS® on American
Community Survey data from 2005 through 2016. Price growth is strongest in the
South and less so in the Northeast, and only a few states show no growth or losses.
Affordability is most favorable in the Midwest, and the West is least affordable, on
average.
