NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Home prices hit new post-bubble lows in March,
according to a report out Tuesday.
Average home prices were down 2.6% from 12 months earlier, according to the
S&P/Case-Shiller home price index of 20 major markets. Home prices have not
been this low since mid-2002.
Print Comment"While there has been improvement in some regions, housing
prices have not turned," said David Blitzer, spokesman for S&P.
Although five cities - Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas, New York and Portland -
saw average home prices hit new lows, that's an improvement from last month'
s report, in which nine cities notched new lows, Blitzer noted.
Overall, the 20-city composite is down about 35% from its peak in 2006.
Most affordable U.S. cities to buy a home
Experts say affordable mortgages, combined with much lower home prices,
should help to bolster the housing market.
"It's probably the best time to buy a home in decades," said Pat Newport, an
analyst for IHS Global Insight.
"But the problem is that unless you have good credit, you are probably going
to have trouble qualifying for a loan," he added referring to overly tight
lending conditions. | n*********e 发帖数: 25274 | | H********k 发帖数: 3950 | 3 those who speak ...with vested interest.....
