Also, the Jacksonville market increased 8.01% from January 2013, marking the 20th consecutive month of year-over-year gains. Despite recent growth, this market is still 15.85% below its January 2009 value.

FNC’s RPI is the mortgage industry’s first hedonic price index built on a comprehensive database that blends public records of home prices with real-time appraisals of property and neighborhood attributes. As a gauge of underlying home values, the RPI excludes final sales of real-estate owned (REO) and foreclosed homes, which are frequently sold with large price discounts, likely reflecting poor property conditions.
