The report said the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index jumped by 2.4 percent on a non-seasonally adjusted basis in May compared to a revised 2.6 percent increase in April.
Economists had been expecting prices to increase by 2.0 percent compared to the 2.5 percent growth originally reported for the previous month.
