Quarter-over-quarter prices rose 3.0%, seasonally adjusted – yet another post-recession high. February also marks the one-year anniversary of when prices bottomed nationally.

Rent increases, however, are slowing down, rising just 3.2% year-over-year in February, led by big increases in Houston, Oakland, and Miami. Rents fell slightly in San Francisco and Las Vegas. Three months ago, in November, rents were up 5.4% year-over-year. Prices are now rising faster than rents in 20 of the 25 largest rental markets.
