The Wall Street Journal uses data from the National Association of Realtors' most recent study on home prices in 172 metropolitan areas.
The data shows that the median, existing single-family home price rose 4.9 percent to $217,300 year-over-year for the third quarters of 2013 and 2014. However, this growth pace was not shared equally nationwide. Home price growth was only 2.2 percent in the Northeast, compared to 5 percent in the Midwest.
