US home prices post first annual decline in 11 years | CNN Business

The national index fell 0.2% in April on an annual basis, according to the report. It’s the first annual decline since 2012. However, despite the year-over-year drop from last summer’s continued surge, prices continued to rise on a monthly basis. After seasonal adjustment, the national index rose 0.5% in April from March. Both the 10-City and 20-City composites saw increases, too, rising 1% and 0.9%, respectively. Before seasonal adjustments, the national index rose 1.3% from March.
