(News Bulletin 247) – House prices in the United States continued to rise in March compared to the same month of 2022, thanks in particular to particularly significant increases in Florida, according to the monthly S&P Corelogic Case-Shiller survey published on Tuesday. .
The composite index calculated from data from the country’s 20 largest agglomerations recorded an increase of 0.5% in seasonally adjusted data.

“That said, the difficulties posed by the current level of mortgage rates and the confirmed prospect of a slowing economy should continue to weigh on prices in the months to come,” he warned.
