Data through April 2013 showed that home prices increased 11.6 percent for the 10-city composite index, and 12.1 percent for the 20-city composite index.

“The 10- and 20-City Composites posted their highest monthly gains in the history of S&P/CaseShiller Home Price Indices,” said Chairman David Blitzer.

We can expect that May’s report will be much of the same. However, be prepared for a seasonal slow-down.
