Houston’s housing market continued its unseasonably strong performance in November, with asking prices in the area rising a very impressive 15.5 percent year-over-year, according to the latest Price Monitor from Trulia.

Additionally, asking prices were up a strong 3.0 percent quarterly, which was the highest increase among the nation’s largest metropolitan areas; meanwhile, Houston’s rental market remains quite strong, with the city’s 5.2 percent increase in rents was the seventh best in the nation.

Nationally, asking prices were up 1 percent from October to November and 3 percent quarter-over-quarter. Though the quarterly uptick is lower than the strong spring-time increases, it is the strongest rise in five months. Additionally, prices were up 12.1 percent year-over-year (continuing 2013’s trend of double-digit yearly increases), and prices were up in 98 out of the U.S.’ 100 largest metro areas.
