U.S. house prices remained flat in January compared with December, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) seasonally adjusted monthly House Price Index (HPI). From January 2016 to January 2017, house prices were up 5.7%.
The HPI has reflected positive monthly increases since early 2012, except for November 2013 and January 2017, when house prices were flat on a month-over-month basis. The previously reported 0.4% increase in December remains unrevised.
