Home values continue to increase across the U.S., but some states are getting a bigger boost than others. Overall, home prices rose 6.8 percent in October versus a year ago, and 1 percent compared with September, according to CoreLogic’s most recent report.

Looking more closely at the data, only 12 states recorded price increases that exceeded the national average. Homes in the remaining 38 states and the District of Columbia fell below the average, with Louisiana and Mississippi posting year-over-year price declines in October.
