The pulse Power Forward Home values escalated in early 2013, proving that housing is back in the game and gaining ground with historically impressive annual and monthly increases. R Good News Nationwide eleasing findings from the company's January 2013 Home Value Index (ZHVI), Zillow gave the housing industry reason to celebrate the new year, reporting a national rise in property values that represents the strongest year-over-year increase since 2006. "The winter months are typically when things cool off in the housing market, but high demand and continued tight inventory in many markets have helped keep things at a boil through the early part of 2013," noted Zillow Chief Economist Dr. Stan Humphries. "Demand will continue to be high throughout 2013, which will help home values, and rents alike continue to rise. Foreclosure activity remains high, despite recent drop-offs. This will have the dual effects of nurturing rental demand, as displaced former homeowners seek new lodgings, and of adding supply to many markets, as foreclosed properties re-enter the market," Humphries concluded.
