List of US States by Home Price Growth Rate 2024

The U.S. housing market is experiencing significant growth in 2024, with home prices soaring in nearly every state. As of the first quarter of 2024, home prices rose sharply by 6.6% year-over-year, the largest increase since 2022. This significant increase is driven by a number of factors, including a severe shortage of homes for sale and a general reluctance among homeowners to sell their properties, all of which is happening against a backdrop of persistently high interest rates.

Washington, D.C. was the lone exception, with home prices declining slightly. As of the first quarter of 2024, home prices in the region were down 1.5% year over year. This decline may be attributed to the region’s reputation as one of the most expensive housing markets in the country, causing some potential buyers to take a wait-and-see approach until interest rates become more favorable. Additionally, a significant portion of homes in the region (more than 20% as of January 2024) are listed for more than $1.5 million, which may have contributed to the slowdown.
