Appraisals

Housing costs -- both rents and home prices -- in the Metro Orlando area rose faster than in most metropolitan areas within the state and the nation in March from a year earlier, two new reports show.

Home prices in 20 U.S. cities accelerated in the year through February for a fifth month, while nationwide property values also picked up.

A consumer's home purchase power only fell by 0.2% in February from January because wage growth has somewhat offset price increases.

Home prices reached their highest level since the recovery started, according to Black Knight Financial Services.

Home values are increasing, but just not at the pace property owners believe they are.

Residential property values will see appreciation of 3.5% over the next 12 months, but interest rate increases could put a damper on price growth in several markets.

Home price increases combined with rising rates drove consumer confidence in the housing market off of its all-time high.

Rising rates will dampen what had been a growing cash-out refinance market even as equity available to homeowners continues to increase.

Affordability will be an issue in nearly half of all metropolitan areas as the home purchase season starts.
