VeroFORECAST Shows Significant Improvement in Home Price Index; Acceleration of Gradual Recovery for Real Estate Prices

Santa Ana, CA (PRWEB) March 26, 2012

Veros Real Estate Solutions(Veros), an industry leader in enterprise risk management, collateral valuation services and predictive analytics, has announced its VeroFORECAST real estate market forecast for the 12-month period from March 1, 2012 to March 1, 2013. The quarterly report shows that the recovery in the housing market is forecast to accelerate. The national home price index (HPI) forecast improved significantly from last quarters 1.3 percent depreciation to this quarters slight depreciation of 0.85 percent.

VeroFORECAST shows fewer significant drags across an increasing number of markets, many of which are beginning to emerge with initial signs of appreciation for the first time since the markets decline. On a national level the gradual recovery in house prices is finally forecast to start accelerating, although the forecast projects the recovery to be market-by-market with not all areas expected to do well. Unemployment and housing supply remain key discriminators between the top and bottom 10 markets.

Phoenix is predicted by VeroFORECAST to be the top performing market with a forecasted five percent appreciation. Its revival is based on the drastically reduced housing supply, great affordability and low interest rates. Also creating demand is Phoenixs 7.9 percent unemployment rate, which is less than the national rate of 8.3 percent.

For the third consecutive quarter, Bakersfield, Calif. stands at the bottom of the housing market with depreciation of 6.3 percent, which is a slight improvement from 6.8 percent in the previous quarter. Unemployment is at 14.3 percent and although housing inventory is coming down, the market is still experiencing a high rate of foreclosure and mortgage delinquency which continues to keep the pressure on pricing.

According to the Cleveland Feds Tim Bianco, the CFSI was elevated at the beginning of 2012, but declined as the calendar year progressed. In 2013, the CFSI has remained reduced, as economic problems proceed to boost. In current months, the CFSIs securitization market place has been contributing most to the all round stage of financial tension, even though the foreign trade and funding marketplaces have been contributing minor pressure.
