How have home prices developed in recent years? House price growth in the U.S. has been going strong for years. In 2025, the median sales price of a single-family home exceeded ******* U.S. dollars, up from ******* U.S. dollars five years ago. One of the factors driving house prices was the cost of credit. The record-low federal funds effective rate allowed mortgage lenders to set mortgage interest rates as low as *** percent. With interest rates on the rise, home buying has also slowed, causing fluctuations in house prices. Why are house prices growing? Many markets in the U.S. are overheated because supply has not been able to keep up with demand. How many homes enter the housing market depends on the construction output, whereas the availability of existing homes for purchase depends on many other factors, such as the willingness of owners to sell. Furthermore, growing investor appetite in the housing sector means that prospective homebuyers have some extra competition to worry about. In certain metros, for example, the share of homes bought by investors exceeded ** percent in 2025.

The year-end value of the S&P Case Shiller National Home Price Index amounted to 321.45 in 2024. The index value was equal to 100 as of January 2000, so if the index value is equal to 130 in a given year, for example, it means that the house prices increased by 30 percent since 2000. S&P/Case Shiller U.S. home indices – additional informationThe S&P Case Shiller National Home Price Index is calculated on a monthly basis and is based on the prices of single-family homes in nine U.S. Census divisions: New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central, South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central, Mountain and Pacific. The index is the leading indicator of the American housing market and one of the indicators of the state of the broader economy. The index illustrates the trend of home prices and can be helpful during house purchase decisions. When house prices are rising, a house buyer might want to speed up the house purchase decision as the transaction costs can be much higher in the future. The S&P Case Shiller National Home Price Index has been on the rise since 2011.The S&P Case Shiller National Home Price Index is one of the indices included in the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index Series. Other indices are the S&P/Case Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index, the S&P/Case Shiller 10-City Composite Home Price Index and twenty city composite indices.

That was lower than the long-term average of *** percent since 1990. Impact of mortgage rates on homebuying The recent cooling in the housing market can be partly attributed to rising mortgage rates. After reaching a record low of **** percent in 2021, the average annual rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage more than doubled in 2023. This significant increase has made homeownership less affordable for many potential buyers, contributing to a substantial decline in home sales. Despite these challenges, forecasts suggest a potential recovery in the coming years. How much does it cost to buy a house in the U.S.? In 2023, the median sales price of an existing single-family home reached a record high of over ******* U.S. dollars.

DisclaimerBefore using this layer, please review the 2018 Rochester Citywide Housing Market Study for the full background and context that is required for interpreting and portraying this data. Please click here to access the study. Please also note that the housing market typologies were based on analysis of property data from 2008 to 2018, and is a snapshot of market conditions within that time frame. For an accurate depiction of current housing market typologies, this analysis would need to be redone with the latest available data.About the DataThis is a polygon feature layer containing the boundaries of all census blockgroups in the city of Rochester. Beyond the unique identifier fields including GEOID, the only other field is the housing market typology for that blockgroup.Information from the 2018 Housing Market Study- Housing Market TypologiesThe City of Rochester commissioned a Citywide Housing Market Study in 2018 as a technical study to inform development of the City's new Comprehensive Plan, Rochester 2034, and retained czb, LLC – a firm with national expertise based in Alexandria, VA – to perform the analysis.Any understanding of Rochester’s housing market – and any attempt to develop strategies to influence the market in ways likely to achieve community goals – must begin with recognition that market conditions in the city are highly uneven. On some blocks, competition for real estate is strong and expressed by pricing and investment levels that are above city averages. On other blocks, private demand is much lower and expressed by above average levels of disinvestment and physical distress. Still other blocks are in the middle – both in terms of condition of housing and prevailing prices. These block-by-block differences are obvious to most residents and shape their options, preferences, and actions as property owners and renters. Importantly, these differences shape the opportunities and challenges that exist in each neighborhood, the types of policy and investment tools to utilize in response to specific needs, and the level and range of available resources, both public and private, to meet those needs. The City of Rochester has long recognized that a one-size-fits-all approach to housing and neighborhood strategy is inadequate in such a diverse market environment and that is no less true today. To concisely describe distinct market conditions and trends across the city in this study, a Housing Market Typology was developed using a wide range of indicators to gauge market health and investment behaviors. This section of the Citywide Housing Market Study introduces the typology and its components. In later sections, the typology is used as a tool for describing and understanding demographic and economic patterns within the city, the implications of existing market patterns on strategy development, and how existing or potential policy and investment tools relate to market conditions.Overview of Housing Market Typology PurposeThe Housing Market Typology in this study is a tool for understanding recent market conditions and variations within Rochester and informing housing and neighborhood strategy development. As with any typology, it is meant to simplify complex information into a limited number of meaningful categories to guide action. Local context and knowledge remain critical to understanding market conditions and should always be used alongside the typology to maximize its usefulness.Geographic Unit of Analysis The Block Group – a geographic unit determined by the U.S. Census Bureau – is the unit of analysis for this typology, which utilizes parcel-level data. There are over 200 Block Groups in Rochester, most of which cover a small cluster of city blocks and are home to between 600 and 3,000 residents. For this tool, the Block Group provides geographies large enough to have sufficient data to analyze and small enough to reveal market variations within small areas.Four Components for CalculationAnalysis of multiple datasets led to the identification of four typology components that were most helpful in drawing out market variations within the city:• Terms of Sale• Market Strength• Bank Foreclosures• Property DistressThose components are described one-by-one on in the full study document (LINK), with detailed methodological descriptions provided in the Appendix.A Spectrum of Demand The four components were folded together to create the Housing Market Typology. The seven categories of the typology describe a spectrum of housing demand – with lower scores indicating higher levels of demand, and higher scores indicating weaker levels of demand. Typology 1 are areas with the highest demand and strongest market, while typology 3 are the weakest markets.

The Typology will assist city government, local foundations and non-profits to understand local market strengths and to appropriately match neighborhood strategies to market conditions, for the best use of public and private resources. In addition, the typology will inform neighborhood level planning efforts and provide residents with an understanding of the local housing market conditions in their communities. Regional Choice: Competitive housing markets with high owner-occupancy rates and high property values in comparison to all other market types. Foreclosure, vacancy and abandonment rates are low. Middle Market Choice: Housing prices above the city’s average with strong ownership rates, and low vacancies, but with slightly increased foreclosure rates. Middle Market: Median sales values of $91,000 (above the City’s average of $65,000) as well as high homeownership rates. These markets experienced higher foreclosure rates when compared to higher value markets, with slight population loss. Middle Market Stressed: Slightly lower home sale values than the City’s average, and have not shown significant sales price appreciation. Vacancies and foreclosure rates are high, and the rate of population loss has increased in this market type, according to the 2010 Census data. Distressed Market: , Have experienced significant deterioration of the housing stock. This market category contains the highest vacancy rates and the lowest homeownership rates, compared to the other market types. It also has experienced some of the most substantial population losses in the City during the past decade.
