Case-Shiller: National House Price Index "Declines Moderated" to 2.0% year-over-year increase in February
(Love the language "declines moderated-it's not inaccurate but….when theY stop raising prime they'll go right back up)"
S&P/Case-Shiller released the monthly Home Price Indices for February ("February" is a 3-month average of December, January and February closing prices).
This release includes prices for 20 individual cities, two composite indices (for 10 cities and 20 cities) and the monthly National index. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index, covering all nine U.S. census divisions, reported a 2.0% annual gain in February, down from 3.7% in the previous month. The 10-City Composite annual increase came in at 0.4%, down from 2.5% in the previous month. The 20-City Composite posted a 0.4% year-over-year gain, down from 2.6% in the previous month. Miami, Tampa, and Atlanta again reported the highest year-over-year gains among the 20 cities in February. The order remained the same with Miami leading the way with a 10.8% year-over-year price increase, followed by Tampa in second with a 7.7% increase, and Atlanta in third with a 6.6% increase. All 20 cities reported lower prices in the year ending February 2023 versus the year ending January 2023.
…
Before seasonal adjustment, the U.S. National Index posted a 0.2% month-over-month increase in February, while the 10-City and 20-City Composites posted increases of 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively. After seasonal adjustment, the U.S. National Index posted a month-over-month increase of 0.2%, while both the 10-City and 20-City Composites posted increases of 0.1%. In January, before seasonal adjustment, 19 cities reported declines with only Miami reporting an increase at 0.1%. After seasonal adjustment, 15 cities reported declines while Miami, Boston, Charlotte, and Cleveland had slight increases. “Home price trends moderated in February 2023,” says Craig J. Lazzara, Managing Director at S&P DJI. “The National Composite, which had declined for seven consecutive months, rose a modest 0.2% in February, and now stands 4.9% below its June 2022 peak. Our 10- and 20-City Composites performed similarly, with February gains of 0.3% and 0.2%; these Composites are currently 6.0% and 6.6% below their respective peaks. On a trailing 12-month basis, the National Composite is only 2.0% above its level in February 2022; the 10- and 20-City Composites are both up 0.4% on a year-over-year basis."
Cap#1 shows the nominal seasonally adjusted Composite 10, Composite 20 and National indices (the Composite 20 was started in January 2000). The Composite 10 index is up 0.1% in February (SA) and down 4.3% from the recent peak in June 2022. The Composite 20 index is up 0.1% (SA) in February and down 4.6% from the recent peak in June 2022. The National index is up 0.2% (SA) in February and is down 2.8% from the peak in June 2022.
Cap#2 shows the year-over-year change in all three indices. The Composite 10 SA is up 0.4% year-over-year. The Composite 20 SA is up 0.4% year-over-year. The National index SA is up 2.0% year-over-year. Annual price increases were below expectations.

>>18735497, >>18735523 pb Economic Schedule for Week of April 23rd 2023
'''Remember that in the Owners Equivalent Rent (OER) component of the CPI they (BLS) are only just starting to see Decembers data since it is lagging by 5 months-great for them when it rises and also they can not show the drop in rents just as well-all that is a survey where they call people up and ask them (totally not empirical) "how much can you rent your unfurnished home for?" whoever picks the phone up can confirm they are the owner and they answer and that is what passes for Economic data for that portion of inflation reporting.
US consumer CONfidence falls to 9-month low in April
U.S. consumer confidence fell to a nine-month low in April led by a darkening outlook that augers a recession beginning in the near future, a survey showed on Tuesday. The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index fell to 101.3 - the lowest since July 2022 - from a revised 104.0 in March. Economists polled by Reuters had expected the index to be unchanged from March at 104.0. "While consumers' relatively favorable assessment of the current business environment improved somewhat in April, their expectations fell and remain below the level which often signals a recession looming in the short-term," said Ataman Ozyildirim, senior director of Economics at The Conference Board. The share of consumers viewing jobs as "plentiful" ticked up to 48.4% from a downwardly revised 47.9% a month earlier, and the share of those describing them as "hard to get" edged down 11.1% from an upwardly revised 11.4% in March. Consumers' 12-month inflation expectations slipped to 6.2% from 6.3% last month.
