Home prices hit six- year low , led by Miami
Home prices in 20 Metropolitan areas fell in October by the most in at least
Six years, a private survey showed Wednesday.
Property values fell 6.1 percent from October 2006, more that forecast,
After dropping 4.9 percent in September, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home
Price index. The decrease was the biggest since the group started keeping year over year records in 2001. The index has fallen every month this year.
Prices are forecast by the experts to decline even more as the jump in foreclosures
And stricter lending rules make it harder for buyers to find financing.
These declining values make it harder for owners to tap home equity
For extra cash, posing a risk to consumer spending.
Compared with a month earlier , home prices dropped 1.4%, the biggest one month decline since records began. The index is a composite of transactions
In 20 metropolitan areas. Seventeen cities showed a year over year
Decline in prices, led by 12 percent slumps in Miami and Tampa.
A report on Nov 21st from the National Association Of Realtors show
Home prices fell in one third of U.S. cities last quarter.
The glut of foreclosures adding to the unsold homes on the market
Is predicted to further reduce market values in many homes.
With all these predictions by the experts it seems that it may be awhile
Before we start seeing real improvement in this market.
