The Case-Shiller Home Price Index measures home price appreciation (and depreciation).
Prices Still Increasing Very Fast for Low and Middle Priced Phoenix Homes
Prices for the low and middle tier priced Phoenix homes continued to increase rapidly in October even though it’s common for prices to fall a bit in October. Going against the typical seasonality means we have a very strong upward trend in Phoenix home prices in these price ranges.
Prices for the high tier continued to increase but at a much slower rate than earlier in the year.
Phoenix Home Price Appreciation – August 2011 to October 2012

• Middle Price Tier = Up 28%
• High Price Tier = Up 15%
See the price breakpoints for the 3 tiers below the chart.

The Case-Shiller Home Price Index (press release) is the best estimate of actual home price appreciation (or depreciation). The downside to the Case-Shiller Index, however, is that it runs a little old, the most current data is only through October 2012.
