Washington DC area ranked 5th out of 22 Metro Area with Home Prices Increase
The 2.1 percent average rise in home prices in 22 out of 25 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) from April to May suggests that recovery could be at hand in many areas, says Radar Logic , a real estate data and analytics company. "This is in stark contrast to the same period during 2008, when a decrease in the velocity of home price depreciation gave way to the worst loss in housing value in recent history," according to the report. The report calculates that in the key MSAs it studies, prices have fallen 33.5 percent peak-to-trough and 31 percent peak-to-current. Here are the 10 metropolitan areas where prices increased the most from April to May of this year: 1. Milwaukee, Wis., 4.9 percent 2. Charlotte, 4.7 percent 3. Boston, 4.6 percent 4. Cleveland, 4 percent 5. Washington, D.C., 3.7 percent 6. St. Louis, 3.3 percent 7. Columbus, Ohio, 3.2 percent 8. Seattle, 2.8 percent 9. Denver, 2.3 percent 10. Philadelphia, 1.8 percent Source: Radar Logic (07/23/2009)
