CoreLogic recently reported that U.S. home prices have increased 2.5 percent in June. This marks the fourth consecutive year-over-year, and month-over-month increase.
"At the halfway point, 2012 is increasingly looking like the year that the residential housing market may have turned the corner," Anand Nallathambi, CoreLogic's president, said in a statement. "While first-half gains have given way to second-half declines over the past three years, we see encouraging signs that modest price gains are supportable across the country in the second half of 2012."
