Home prices across the country increased 12 percent in January of this year compared to January 2013, marking 23 months of consecutive year-over-year increases in home prices nationally, according to a release from CoreLogic.

“The last time January month-over-month and year-over-year price appreciation was this strong was at the height of the housing bubble in 2006,” Dr. Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic, said in a release.

At the state level, including distressed sales, Louisiana, Nebraska and Texas surpassed their previous home price peaks in January 2014. In all, 22 states and the District of Columbia are at or within 10 percent of their peak home price appreciation. Additionally, over the past year, seven states equaled or grew faster than the nation as a whole, including Nevada, California, Oregon, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona and Florida.

Excluding distressed sales, home prices nationally increased 9.8 percent in January 2014 compared to January 2013 and 0.7 percent month over month compared to December 2013. Distressed sales include short sales and real estate owned (REO) transactions.
