The latest S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices revealed for February a modest increase in the components of the reports even though eight of the 20 major metropolitan areas saw a decrease in prices.

The newest CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index will be released this week, noting home price growth and mortgage rates across the country. Here's what else is happening in the Week Ahead.

A comparison between two home price indices has shown some clear indications of slowing growth in the housing market. Here’s what this could mean for homeowners.

On Tuesday, September 26, the Case-Shiller Home Price Index for July will be released. In the face of increasing home prices and constricted inventory, experts await July’s numbers to see if the trend of home price appreciation will continue.

It could be a great time to invest in rental properties, according to a recent report that measures the ratio of wealth accumulated through home equity versus the ratio of wealth accumulated through renting. Eight cities listed in the 20-City Composite favor renting, while eight favor buying. Four major metro areas could sway in either direction at the end of Q2.

The current pace of home price appreciation, considering that inflation is below the Federal Reserve’s target rate of 2 percent, is probably not sustainable, but there is no need to worry quite yet.

New single-family home sales took a notable upturn in July, with the month becoming the best month for new sales since 2007, according to HUD and the U.S. Census Bureau.

In its latest S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices report, S&P Dow Jones Indices recorded an annual price increase of 10.8 percent among both the 10- and 20-city composites. Those figures compare to year-over-year increases of 12.6 percent and 12.4 percent, respectively. A consensus of economists surveyed by Econoday called for a gain of 11.4 percent in the 20-city index.

CoreLogic released Tuesday its own quarterly Case-Shiller Indexes, assembled using the company’s proprietary data supplemented with statistics from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). With 2014 nearing its halfway point, a broad spectrum look at more than 380 markets nationwide confirms home prices jumped 11.3 percent in 2013’s final quarter compared to the year prior.

The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices, released Tuesday, showed a 0.8 percent seasonally adjusted month-over-month improvement in January, topping the 0.7 percent gain forecast in a poll of economist conducted by Reuters. On an unadjusted basis, the 20-city composite index posted its third monthly decline at -0.1 percent. The 10-city index ticked up a negligible amount, meanwhile.
