Home Prices Continue Decline Nationally

The Standard and Poors Case-Shiller Index report through March, 2009 was released today. The report states that "...the U.S. National Home Price Index continues to set record declines".

Metropolitan areas recorded a year-over-year decline of slightly more than 19% for the first quarter. Record monthly declines were noted in Minneapolis, Detroit and New York.

On the flip side, there were some metropolitan areas that recorded improved statistics year-over-year, or when looking at the statistics compared with the month of February, 2009.
