U.S. house prices continued to firm in April 2026, with the House Price Index rising 2.0% year-over-year, according to data updated on 30 June 2026. The latest reading marks an acceleration from March 2026, when the index posted a 1.7% annual increase.
The indicator measures how prices in April 2026 compare with April 2025, while the previous figure reflected the change in March 2026 versus March 2025. The pick-up from 1.7% to 2.0% suggests that price growth in the U.S. housing market has strengthened modestly on an annual basis as spring demand filtered through pricing.
Although the data do not break down regional or segment-specific trends, the continued year-over-year gains in both March and April point to a housing market that remains resilient, with price momentum edging higher into the second quarter of 2026.
