U.S. house prices rose 4.4 percent in the 12 months through September as the housing market recovers from a six-year slump, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said.

Prices climbed 0.2 percent from August, the FHFA said today in a report from Washington. That was below the 0.4 percent average estimate of 14 economists in a Bloomberg survey.
