Housing prices set a new record: The national median home sale price has risen 5.8% from a year earlier to $419,300, an all-time high on records going back to 1999. (Scripps News)

Mortgage rates might remain stubbornly high, but home prices seem to be leveling off—and are already falling in certain cities.

That price is “relatively stable compared to the same time last year, when it was $441,000,” notes Realtor.com Chief EconomistAmong America’s 50 biggest cities, 20 show annual price declines since last year, and the metro with the steepest drop might surprise you: In Miami, the median home price plummeted 11.2% from a year earlier, to $439,000.

Whether any of these softening prices will result in lower housing payments is unclear. Mortgage rates are so high, they’ve pushed up median monthly payments nationwide by 7.1%.“Higher mortgage rates compared with last May still increased the monthly cost of financing 80% of the median home by roughly $158 compared with a year ago,” Hale says.

So, while homebuyers might still have to cough up more cash now than in the past for the typical home, they can nonetheless temper this load by targeting the right cities where prices are heading south.
