If you're waiting for your home to regain some of its lost value, you might not have to wait long.

Home prices are on the rise and, according to at least one report, are expected to increase 3.3 percent a year through 2017.

Part of the reason is the lack of inventory, causing multiple bids on houses. Another reason is low interest rates. Another is an improvement in consumer credit, which encourages banks to loan more money.
