Standard and Poor's released the Case-Shiller Home Price Index this morning.

The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices are constructed to accurately track the price path of typical single-family homes located in each metropolitan area provided. Each index combines matched price pairs for thousands of individual houses from the available universe of arms-length single family homes sales data. The indices have a base value of 100 in January 2000; thus, for example, a current index value of 150 translates to a 50% appreciation rate since January 2000 for a typical home located within the subject market.

NOVEMBER S&P/CASE-SHILLER HOME PRICE INDEX

In last month's release, which reported on home price changes in November, both the 20 city index and 10 city index fell 0.2% on a month over month seasonally unadjusted basis. Year over year, home prices were down 4.5% while the 10 city index fell 5.3%. Seasonal influences were again obvious in last month's release. On an adjusted basis both the 10 city and 20 city were up 0.2% in November. Fall and Winter is a slow time of the year for housing, generally home prices have less support during this time of year.

Here is a table of the unadjusted data.
