Redfin Reports U.S. Home Prices Rose 0.2% in April
Montgomery County, PA saw the biggest price gain, followed by Cleveland and Nassau County, NY. The biggest declines were in Oakland, CA, Newark, NJ and Phoenix.
SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
U.S. home prices rose 0.2% month over month in April on a seasonally adjusted basis, and climbed 2.1% year over year. That’s according to a new report from Redfin, the real estate brokerage powered by Rocket.
This is according to the Redfin Home Price Index (RHPI), which uses the repeat-sales pricing method to calculate seasonally adjusted changes in single-family home prices. The RHPI measures how sale prices of homes have changed since their previous sale—similar to the S&P Cotality Case-Shiller Home Price Indices—but is reported about a month earlier. April data covers the three months ending April 30, 2026.
“An improving labor market is buoying homebuyer demand, which is keeping home price growth afloat. Even though prices are rising, buyers still have bargaining power because they’re outnumbered by sellers,” said Redfin Senior Economist Asad Khan. “If housing demand keeps climbing, sellers may regain some of that power, causing home prices to rise further.”
