Index shows housing prices falling by 18.6 percent in February, but didn't
set annual record
NEW YORK (AP) -- In another sign the housing crisis could be reaching the
bottom, home prices dropped sharply in February but for the first time in 25
months the decline was not a record.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller index released Tuesday showed home prices
in 20 major cities tumbled by 18.6 percent from February 2008. That was
slightly better than January's 19 percent and the first time since January
2007 the index didn't set a record.
But the good news was mixed. All 20 cities in the report showed monthly and
annual price declines, but half recorded annual records. Prices fell by more
than 10 percent in 15 cities, including Las Vegas, San Francisco and
Phoenix. In fact, Phoenix home prices have lost more than half their value
since peaking in July 2006. | c***e
