The numbers: The S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.7% in the three-month period ending in November compared to the same period ending in October, and was up 6.4% compared to a year before. The national index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.7% for the month, and 6.2% for the year.

What happened: Both annual increases were higher than in the prior month's release. The 20-city index rose 6.3% in the three-month period ending in October, for example. Surging prices are all about limited supply of homes to buy.

But there's another interesting development. The cities "that enjoyed the fastest price increases before the 2007-2009 financial crisis are again among those cities experiencing the largest gains," said David Blitzer, chair of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices. Blitzer named San Diego, Los Angeles, Miami and Las Vegas.

Big picture: Home prices continue to surge well ahead of inflation and wage gains. Prices were hottest in Seattle, where they rose 12.7% compared to a year ago, and in Las Vegas, where they rose 10.6% for the year. Even San Francisco's short blip seems to be over: it was in third place, with a 9.1% annual increase. Such lofty gains don't seem sustainable, even if they're driven by true demand and limited supply, rather than a bubble mentality.

Case-Shiller's conclusion that prices are on fire has been echoed elsewhere. On Monday, real estate data provider Black Knight said U.S. home prices rose 6.44% compared to a year ago in November.

Imahe

As a crafty girl, I take my vision board very seriously! It has to be functional. It has to be accessible…and oh yeah…it has to look good! Now, without throwing any shade, let me say this. I've seen lots of vision boards and many of them look like ransom notes. I'm just keepin' it real!

Color Trends for Kitchens 2019

Imahe
by Ryan O. As we begin the new year, let's look at some of the new trends we are seeing from kitchen interior designers predicted to be big in 2019! The color pair that is everywhere in kitchens: NAVY BLUE/WHITE Navy Blue is appearing in magazines and showrooms right now not as a color for accessories, but as the color of the new kitchen cabinet. This is a darker blue that in some parts of the fashion world, can be treated as neutral as a sophisticated looking hue. We are veering away from the monochromatic kitchen, specifically, the all-white kitchen which requires effort to maintain. This hue is often paired with white and creates a high contrast, elegant look. You will even see a more specific version, LACQUERED NAVY, referring to the smooth lacquer finish of drawers and cabinets.
