Asking prices grew all over the nation in July, but they showed particular strength in our metro area.

Asking prices in the Atlanta metropolitan area rose 14.0 percent year-over-year in July, according to the latest Price Monitor from real estate website Trulia.

That was the fourth strongest yearly price increase in the nation, and was in addition to Atlanta’s 3.6 percent quarterly increase and an 8.0 percent increase in rents, year-over-year (which was itself the 10th best in the nation).

National Asking Prices Continue to Slow

On a national basis, asking prices continued to return to earth after their exuberant 2013. Per Trulia’s analysis, asking prices were up in 97 of the nation’s 100 largest metros, though the average quarterly increase of 2.5 percent was below 2013’s increases of the same period, which were 3 percent or higher.
