S&P/Case-Shiller released the monthly Home Price Indices for July (“July” is a 3-month average of May, June and July closing prices).
This release includes prices for 20 individual cities, two composite indices (for 10 cities and 20 cities) and the monthly National index.

divisions, reported a 15.8% annual gain in July, down from 18.1% in the previous month. The 10-City
Composite annual increase came in at 14.9%, down from 17.4% in the previous month. The 20-City
Composite posted a 16.1% year-over-year gain, down from 18.7% in the previous month.
Tampa, Miami, and Dallas reported the highest year-over-year gains among the 20 cities in July.
Tampa led the way with a 31.8% year-over-year price increase, followed by Miami in second with a
31.7% increase, and Dallas in third with a 24.7% increase. All 20 cities reported lower price increases
in the year ending July 2022 versus the year ending June 2022.

Before seasonal adjustment, the U.S. National Index posted a -0.3% month-over-month decrease in
July, while the 10-City and 20-City Composites both posted decreases of -0.8%.
After seasonal adjustment, the U.S. National Index posted a month-over-month decrease of -0.2%, and
the 10-City and 20-City Composites posted decreases of -0.5% and -0.4%, respectively.
In July, only 7 cities reported increases before and after seasonal adjustments.
“Although U.S. housing prices remain substantially above their year-ago levels, July’s report reflects a
forceful deceleration,” says Craig J. Lazzara, Managing Director at S&P DJI. “For example, while the
National Composite Index rose by 15.8% in the 12 months ended July 2022, its year-over-year price
rise in June was 18.1%. The -2.3% difference between those two monthly rates of gain is the largest
deceleration in the history of the index. We saw similar patterns in our 10-City Composite (up 14.9% in
July vs. 17.4% in June) and our 20-City Composite (up 16.1% in July vs. 18.7% in June). On a monthover-month basis, all three composites declined in July”
