CoreLogic is reporting that property values have been declining every month for the past 6 months. I can confirm that the areas of southern California where we appraise are mostly consistent with this trend. However, very recently I have seen evidence of a flattening in home pricing (I am not calling it flat yet, however). It is common for property values to decline during winter months and increase in the spring so it is also critically important to compare the same time periods across years to account for such seasonal trends.
