According to Core Logic’s June Home Price Index, there are four housing tiers. The lowest priced tier increased nearly 10% year over year. The low to middle tier 8%, 7% for the middle to moderate tier and 5.7% for the highest priced tier. These are nationwide numbers but are applicable to our Foothill housing market as well. Because of the difference in the appreciation rate, this trend benefits current homeowners interested in moving to a more expensive home.
