Home prices fall at record pace

September 30, 2008 01:51PM


Home prices in 20 U.S. cities fell a record 16.3 percent in July from a year earlier, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller home-price index released today. Economists had predicted a smaller drop, following the June 15.9 percent descent. Home prices have been declining every month since January 2007.

Case/Shiller is the worst indicator for this. They don't include Co-ops or condos in NYC. They only include Townhomes and buildings. Its way off. Not up or down, just off, because it doesn't have the necessary numbers.
