U.S. home values are now higher than they have ever been, and home values in 21 of the 35 largest housing markets have surpassed peak value hit during the height of the housing boom over a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Home values are rising faster than we&#8217;ve seen in a very long time: The spring home shopping season has been a perfect storm of strong demand and tight supply,&#8221; said Zillow senior economist Aaron Terrazas.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Sluggish new construction has exacerbated the supply situation and homes that are hitting the market, are moving very quickly once they do. Americans are also in a spending mood, boosted by recent tax cuts and rising wages.

In San Jose, home values rose 26 percent to a median of $1,263,900. In Las Vegas and Seattle, home values rose 16.5 percent and 13.6 percent, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Median rent across the nation rose 2.5 percent over the past year to a median payment of $1,449 per month. Sacramento, Calif., Riverside, Calif., and Las Vegas reported the greatest year-over-year rent appreciation among the 35 largest U.S. metros.
