VARbuzz: Home prices up nationwide for the third straight month

CoreLogic is reporting that it’s Home Price Index for May showed prices up two percent from a year ago — but get this: That includes distressed-home sales.

Take out the distressed sales and prices were up 2.7 percent. (They were also up month to month — and that’s the third month in a row with gains.)

The company expects prices to rise another two percent in June.
