Annual Housing Inflation Rate: Highs & Lows
High (Last 12 Months)                      3.0%   (May, 2018)
Low (Last 12 Months)                       2.8%   (September, 2017)
High (Since January, 1968)            18.3%   (June, 1980)
Low (Since January, 1968)            -0.7%   (July, 2009)

The annual Housing Inflation Rate for the 12 months ended in June, 2018 was
2.81%. That's 0.19% percent lower than the 12 months ended in May, 2018
which inflated at a rate of 3.01%. It is 0.19% percent lower than the 12 months
ended in June, 2017 which inflated at a rate of 3.01%.  The sideways movement
in inflation rates from May to June indicates that the short term inflation trend in
housing prices has been flat. If that trend continues, we should see an inflation
rate for the 12 months ended in July, 2018 that is close to 2.62%.

The USA Housing Inflation Rate one year ago was 3.01%. Over the last year,
inflation in the housing price index was 2.81%. The average rate over the last
10 years was 1.82%.  Higher inflation over the last 12 months compared to the
average inflation over the last 10 years serves as an indicator that the long
term trend in the Housing Inflation Rate is up. Inflation expectations should be
adjusted accordingly.

Forecast-Chart's historical research covers Housing Inflation Rate data back to
January, 1968. The average annual inflation rate in housing prices during that
period of history was 4.32%. The highest rate was 18.30%. The lowest rate was
-0.69%.  The high was attained in the 12 months ended in June of 1980. The
low was achieved in the 12 months ended in July of 2009. Recent rates
experienced in the 12 months ended in June of 2018 are low relative to the
historical 4.32% average.
