Markets that saw gains of 5 to 6 percent during the 12-month period include:

  • Los Angeles (6.3 percent)
  • Las Vegas (6.1 percent)
  • Detroit (5.7 percent)
  • Atlanta (5.4 percent)
  • Tampa (5.4 percent)
  • Charlotte (5.2 percent)

The worst-performing major markets, in terms of price gains, were Chicago (1.4 percent), D.C. (1.6 percent), New York (2.8 percent) and Cleveland (2.8 percent).

“The city-to-city price patterns are little changed in the last year,” said David Blitzer, managing director and chairman of the index committee.

Since the March 2012 lows, the 20-city composite index has recovered by 34.9 percent.

Nationally, the home price index rose by 4.5 percent year over year.

“The missing piece in the housing picture has been housing starts and sales. These have changed for the better in the last few months,” Blitzer said, adding that two clouds on the horizon are a possible Fed rate increase and volatility in the stock market.
