There are no immediate concerns about the most recent S&P/Case-Shiller home price index released earlier this week. Although November showed a slight decline of 0.17 percent from the prior month in the 10-city Composite Index, and a 0.09 percent decline in the 20-city Composite Index, the non-seasonally adjusted figures reflect a typical pattern for this time of year.
“The November monthly figures were stronger than October, with 10 cities seeing rising prices versus seven the month before,” said David M. Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices.
“Winter is usually a weak period for housing which explains why we now see about half the cities with falling month-to-month prices compared to 20 out of 20 seeing rising prices last summer. The better annual price changes also point to seasonal weakness rather than a reversal in the housing market.”
Additionally, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) released its Pending Home Sales Report for December which shows that pending home sales also declined with the seasonally adjusted national index down 4.3 percent from November but increasing 6.9 percent above December 2011.
