Home Prices Fall 12.7%
Declines in the prices of existing single family homes across the United States worsened in February 2008, with 17 of the 20 now reporting record low annual declines -- 10 of the 20 regions were in
double-digits:
"There is no sign of a bottom in the numbers. Prices of single family homes continue to drop across the nation. All 20 metro areas were in the red for the February-over-January reading. In addition, 19 of the 20 MSAs are still reporting negative annual returns. The monthly data show that every one of the MSAs has now declined" --David M. Blitzer, Chairman of the Index Committee at Standard & Poor's.

No surprise...looking at the history of housing prices, a sane person must conclude we are in for another 40-50% drop nationally. One thing...Barry, I AM BEGGING YOU...you probably have the ability to get through to Shiller. I would like to see this chart updated till today...PLEASE!!!!! It is very important to this country to have this data.
