While analysts have long said that home price appreciation outpacing income growth is holding back homeownership, one study found that the reverse is true in many markets.

Home price appreciation is nothing new, having experienced robust growth since bottoming out four years ago. But a couple of recent home price indices indicate that things might be changing.

House prices rose by 5.6 percent over-the-year in the second quarter—but the rate of appreciation seems to be slowing after months of steady gains, according to FHFA.

Home price appreciation in the second quarter largely negated a modest reduction in interest rates, driving housing affordability down.

The rate at which home prices have appreciated over the last year is not expected to slow down over the next year.

Home prices have appreciated at a rapid pace for much of the last four years, but that pace slipped slightly in May. Are the forecasts of the deceleration of home price appreciation coming true?

The housing market has become increasingly competitive for both buyers and sellers as home prices have steadily increased.

Single-family house prices in May were up from April and from a year ago, and should steadily rise through next spring, according to CoreLogic.

Low mortgage rates are taming rapidly rising house prices and keeping homeowners from overleveraging themselves, according to Freddie Mac.

Home prices are continuing to rise all over the country, according to FHFA. What area have seen the largest increases?
