标普Case-Shiller指数：美国8月房价同比上涨2.1%，20城涨2.7%，Chicago以6.7%连续六个月领涨
标普道琼斯指数公司（S&P Dow Jones Indices）10月27日发布的标普 Cotality Case-Shiller 美国全国房价指数显示，美国8月房价同比上涨2.1%，高于7月的1.9%；20城综合指数同比上涨2.7%。经季节调整后，全国指数与20城指数8月环比均上涨0.3%；未经季节调整的全国指数环比下跌0.2%，显示夏末季节性放缓仍在。
20个城市分化明显：Chicago 同比上涨6.7%，连续第六个月居首；New York 上涨6.2%、Cleveland 上涨4.3%紧随其后。跌幅最大的是 Seattle，同比下跌2.0%，为连续第三个月跌幅居首；Las Vegas 下跌1.3%、Denver 下跌0.8%。标普同时提示，Detroit 都市区人口最多的 Wayne County 的记录办公室仍有交易登记延迟。
按实际购买力计，房价已连续第15个月下跌：8月通胀率为3.4%，比2.1%的名义房价涨幅高出约1.3个百分点，实际房价跌幅虽继续收窄。标普道琼斯指数大宗商品副总监 Rebecca Kaufman 表示：「负担能力仍然具有挑战性。通胀在3.4%、布伦特原油接近每桶100美元、抵押贷款利率处在6%区间中高段，家庭在房价持续高企的同时仍面临高昂的成本。」同日发布的联邦住房金融局（FHFA）房价指数则显示8月房价环比上涨0.3%、同比上涨2.4%，两套指数走势一致。

S&P Cotality Case-Shiller: U.S. Home Prices Rose 2.1% in August, Chicago Led 20 Cities With a 6.7% Gain
The S&P Cotality Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price NSA Index, covering all nine U.S. census divisions, reported a 2.1% annual gain for August, up from a 1.9% increase in July, S&P Dow Jones Indices said on October 27. The 20-City Composite rose 2.7% year over year. After seasonal adjustment, both the National Index and the 20-City Composite rose 0.3% month over month; before adjustment, the National Index fell 0.2%, reflecting the typical late-summer slowdown.
Regional differences were stark. Chicago reported the highest annual gain among the 20 cities for the sixth consecutive month, up 6.7%, followed by New York at 6.2% and Cleveland at 4.3%. Seattle posted the largest annual decline for the third straight month, falling 2.0%, followed by Las Vegas at -1.3% and Denver at -0.8%. S&P also noted continuing transaction recording delays in Wayne County, the most populous county in the Detroit metro area.
In real terms, U.S. home values fell for the 15th consecutive month, as August inflation of 3.4% ran about 1.3 percentage points above the 2.1% nominal price gain, though the gap narrowed. "Affordability, however, remains challenging," said Rebecca Kaufman, Associate Director of Commodities at S&P Dow Jones Indices. "With inflation at 3.4%, Brent crude near $100 per barrel and mortgage rates in the mid-to-high 6% range, households continue to face elevated costs alongside persistently high home prices." The Federal Housing Finance Agency's index, released the same day, showed prices up 0.3% on the month and 2.4% on the year, a consistent picture across the two measures.
