The government confirms what the private-sector Case-Shiller Index reported yesterday. Nationwide, average home values slipped in October.
Tuesday, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac unveiled lender instructions for the government’s revamped HARP program.
Publishing on a 2-month lag, the Federal Home Finance Agency said home prices fell by 1.6 percent nationally in December. And that’s an average, of course. Some regions performed well in December as compared to November, others didn’t.
More positive signals from housing — home values are still on the rise. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, after posting its first quarterly increase since 2007 this past September, the Home Price Index rose by another 0.6 percent in October. Prices are up in 4 of the last six months.
