Homes For Sale: Case-Shiller Housing Index: January 2011: US Real Estate Pricing Pains Continue

As we have been discussing in prior posts, the South Florida housing market remains weak. According to the latest Case-Shiller Housing Index numbers, South Florida home prices fell for the sixth consecutive month in January 2011; falling to a new five-year low.

The Index's Miami metropolitan area, which includes Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties — fell 1.3% between December 2010 and January 2011. On a year-over-year basis, home prices fell 4.7% in January 2011, according to the Case-Shiller Index.

According to the Case-Shiller Index, nation-wide home prices fell 1.0% on a sequential basis in January 2011. On a year-over-year basis the US housing market was down 3.1% in January 2011. Every market in the Case-Shiller Index experienced a sequenital decline in January 2011 with the exception of Washington D.C.

According to the Case-Shiller Index, US housing markets of interest were as follows:
