Inside the Data: January 2026 Case-Shiller Index
Case-Shiller data for January shows a slowdown in annual home price growth, but a closer look reveals a more encouraging trend beneath the surface. While year-over-year gains hit their slowest pace since mid-2023, recent monthly data points to stronger momentum that could continue, especially with shifts in mortgage rates. The question now is whether that momentum can hold as broader economic factors begin to change.
