First American Data & Analytics released its February 2025 Home Price Index (HPI) report, revealing that home prices in the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land area increased by 1.4% year-over-year. The national house price growth has reached its slowest pace since March 2012, according to Chief Economist Mark Fleming.
The report highlights that Sunbelt markets are experiencing the slowest home price growth among tracked markets, with cities like Tampa and Phoenix showing more buyer-friendly conditions due to increased inventory from significant home building.
