Home-price increases moderated in much of the U.S. in the third quarter as more properties came to the market and investor purchases declined.
The median price of an existing single-family home rose from a year earlier in 73 percent of the 172 metropolitan areas measured, the National Association of Realtors said in a report today. Sixteen areas had gains of 10 percent or more, compared with 54 areas in the third quarter of 2013. Prices declined in 47 regions.
