US House Price Increasing, Despite Its Slow Sales Pace

Property is said to be the best investment. However, there are many factors that affected this industry that every people need to consider. One of them is weather. It’s shown when the property industry in US has goes down because of the snowstorm last year. And, with combination between the price that always increase and high mortgage rates, it makes the problem in property industry of US last February. One of them is the decreasing of the sales that become the lowest in past 19 months.

However, there is latest business news about the US property industry that say there is some good development in this industry. According to CoreLogic, the house prices are increasing around 12.2 percent last February compared to one year ago. However, this can be said as small increasing, compared to the January that is only 12 percent. CoreLogic also found some increase for month-to-month basis house prices last February. They found that the house price increasing around 0.8 percent compared from January. The good thing, this price hasn’t been affected by the seasonal weather. The increasing house prices are also caused by the supply of property product. Although the sales still can’t move from its old problem, which is slow sales pace, this low supply make the price rises. As we all know, because the rarity has strong effect on the price of the product.

Although the prices of property product increasing, but, most of economist think that this isn’t good condition. It’s mostly because of the slow sales pace. They predict that the pace will be hastened on the earlier spring buying season. But, it won’t as fast as last year. If this is what will happen, this isn’t good thing for property industry for welcoming the real implementation of the policy about monetary stimulus that The Fed will be activated soon.
