Home Price Index gains 5.5%

The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city composite posted that home prices were 5.5% higher than during the same period in the prior year, for the strongest year-over-year growth since August 2006, with increases in 19 of 20 cities.

Housing is clearly recovering, with positive trends for new- and existing-home sales. However, prices remain 30% below a bubble peak in 2006, according to Case-Shiller data. This, coupled with favorable rates from mortgage lenders in Nebraska means that there is still an excellent opportunity to select your next home while home prices still have room to move upward.
