CoreLogic: North Texas home prices at record levels

​DALLAS  – Dallas-area home prices were up by more than 9.5 percent from a year ago in CoreLogic’s March housing report.

The nationwide prices were up by 6.7 percent. The only major market with a bigger gain than North Texas was Denver, where home prices were up 10.9 percent year-over-year.

​​“Home prices reached the bottom five years ago, and since then have appreciated almost 40 percent,” said Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. “The highest appreciation was in the West, where prices continue to increase at double-digit rates.”​

Dallas-Fort Worth topped other major Texas cities for both first quarter annual price increases and sales, according to a new report by the Texas Association of Realtors. ​
