"LoanPerformance's HPI continues to track the nation's housing market's progress. This latest release reveals that 17 states show a negative home price appreciation over the past 12 months," said Damien Weldon, vice president, collateral and prepayment analytics for First American LoanPerformance. "However, most states continue to have stable home values while states like Wyoming, Utah and North Carolina show a moderate growth in prices," added Weldon.
