According to CoreLogic, Florida has shown the 2nd highest year on year home price appreciation amongst U.S. states. It trails only Arizona (28.3% vs 27.9%) based on the most recent data. See the graph below for the results by state.
CoreLogic is forecasting a drastic reduction in home price appreciation over the next twelve months (down to less than 4%) across our nation. While I hope the company is correct, my bias continues towards another year of significant home price appreciation.
