The Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index climbed to a record 327.68 in March 2025. That’s the highest it’s ever been, continuing a long stretch of rising home values across the country.
Still, the rate of growth is easing. Home prices rose 3.4% from the year before, down from 4.0% in February. Slower growth could signal a cooling trend driven by higher mortgage rates and slightly more homes on the market.
Among major metros, New York led the way with an 8.0% gain. Chicago followed with 6.5%, and Cleveland posted a 5.9% rise. Tampa was the only city to see a drop, falling 2.2% year-over-year.
For our neighbors here in New Orleans, it’s a reminder that real estate is deeply local. While national trends are important, what’s happening in your ZIP code matters most. We’re here to help you understand the market and make the right move—whether buying, selling, or just exploring your options.
