To help clarify what\u2019s happening with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2022\/05\/24\/sellers-have-an-opportunity-with-todays-home-prices\/\">home prices<\/a> and where experts say they\u2019re going, here\u2019s a look at a few terms you may hear:<span id=\"more-46664\"><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Appreciation<\/strong> is when home prices <em>increase<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Depreciation<\/strong> is when home prices <em>decrease<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deceleration<\/strong> is when home prices continue to <em>appreciate<\/em>, but at a <em>slower pace<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Where Home Prices Have Been in Recent Years<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For starters, you\u2019ve probably heard home prices have skyrocketed over the past two years, but homes were actually appreciating long before that. You might be surprised to learn that home prices have climbed for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhfa.gov\/DataTools\/Downloads\/Pages\/House-Price-Index-Datasets.aspx#qpo\">122<\/a> consecutive months <em>(see graph below)<\/em>:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15152228\/20220616-MEM-Eng-1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46665\" src=\"https:\/\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15152228\/20220616-MEM-Eng-1.png\" alt=\"Home Price Deceleration Doesn\u2019t Mean Home Price Depreciation | Simplifying The Market\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15152228\/20220616-MEM-Eng-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15152228\/20220616-MEM-Eng-1-400x300.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As the graph shows, houses have gained value consistently over the past 10 consecutive years.

It\u2019s because there were more buyers than there were homes for sale. That imbalance put upward pressure on home prices because demand was high and supply was low.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Where Experts Say Home Prices Are Going<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>While this is helpful context, if you\u2019re a buyer or seller in today\u2019s market, you probably want to know what\u2019s going to happen with home prices moving forward. Will they continue that same growth path or will home prices fall?<\/p>\n<p>Experts are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2022\/05\/31\/what-does-the-rest-of-the-year-hold-for-the-housing-market\/\">forecasting<\/a> ongoing appreciation, just at a decelerated pace.
