The Real estate’s US home prices rose in September month, a new sign of recovery in the sick housing market, S&P/Case-Shiller data out Tuesday showed. The 20-city cost index rose 0.3 percent from August; the 8 straight monthly add to, and was up 3.0 percent from a year back.
Only 2 cities, New York and Chicago, had cost declines on an annual basis, down 2.3 % and 1.5%, respectively. The September increase was another mark that the scruffy housing market's recovery is gaining grip, six years after a price crash.
Standard home prices were back at average levels, but calculated from June-July 2006 peaks; they were about 29% lower."It is safe to say that we are now in the center of mending in the housing market.
