Appraisals

Seattle has been leading the country in home price increases for a while. Now, no other region is even close.

ServiceLink has integrated its systems with Roostify's automated lending technology.

The rate of growth in year-over-year home price appreciation stabilized in July, after accelerating throughout every month this year, according to Black Knight Financial Services.

Homeownership paid big dividends for Southern Californians who have owned their residences since the housing recovery began five years ago.

Homeowners gained an average of $12,987 in equity from last year, with Western states leading the increase.

The supply of homes for sale continued to shrink, but the median time to sell a home was slightly longer in August compared with the previous month, according to Redfin.

Appraisals continue to disappoint homeowner expectations in August, though the difference of opinion between appraiser and owner has narrowed, according to the Quicken Loans National Home Price Perception Index.

The median down payment for a home purchased in the second quarter was 7.3%, the most in nearly three years, a result of increased competition, according to Attom Data Solutions.

As housing demand continues to challenge low levels of supply, home prices are overvalued in 34% of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas, according to CoreLogic.

The Seattle-area home market keeps picking up steam, with prices rising faster than anywhere else in the country for the 10th straight month.
