US single-family home price growth slows in December, FHFA says

U.S. single-family home price gains slowed in December, according to the FHFA index.

Economists say the slowdown reflects softer price growth rather than a drop, with some regions still showing gains while others plateau.

Tight housing inventory is seen as a key factor that could prevent an outright national price decline despite the recent deceleration.
