Excluding sales of distressed properties, the five states posting the biggest price increases over the past 12 months were Colorado (up 9.3%), New York (up 8.5%), Washington (up 8.3%), Oregon (up 8.2%) and Nevada (up 7.9%).

CoreLogic’s CEO said:
The current cycle of home price appreciation is closing in on its fourth year with no apparent end in sight. Pent up buying demand and affordability, together with higher consumer confidence buoyed by a more robust labor market, are a potent mix fueling a 6.5 percent jump in home prices through June with more increases likely to come.
CoreLogic has forecast that home prices will rise 0.6% month over month in July and rise by 4.5% between June 2015 and June 2016. Both projections include distressed sales.
