Despite elevated mortgage rates and a slowdown in home sales, U.S. home prices continue to rise. In the first quarter of 2024, more than 90% of metro areas experienced home price gains, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). During that period, the national median single-family existing-home price surged 5% year-over-year to $389,400.
