Home prices decline in most places, but rise in others

As noted on the Lansner on Real Estate blog, the latest S&P/Case-Shiller index shows price declines of 8.6% for the 20-city composite during the annual period ending November 2007. The four steepest declines included those areas which participated in the run-up -- such as Miami and San Diego -- as well as the troubled economic area of Detroit. Although prices in the combined Los Angeles/Orange County area fell by just under 12%, they held up much better in the San Francisco area, falling by 8.6%. At the same time, prices in Portland and Seattle actually rose by 1.3% to 1.8%, respectively.
