Hey Tim – yeah, pretty much. We saw less of a value drop.

I was curious as to how you get the headline “Home Prices Improve “. Both the data in the chart above and the data from the Case-Chiller website suggest Miami and Tampa prices fell again in April even seasonally adjusted. Are you suggesting “Prices” improved because they did not fall as much?

Isn't funny that we have come to a time when we can say "home prices decline only 18%. " These numbers are all seasonal in my veiw. Unemployment is now at it highest level in 26 years and rising and there is an entire wave of new foreclosures coming. Given this, I think this market is here to stay until 2012 at least. .-= Kevin Curts @MN MLS´s last blog ..14898 Easter Avenue , Apple Valley, MN =-.

Hey Barbara! Thanks so much for stopping by! I think we are see “signs,” but we need to wait to see what the next Case-Shiller report tells us. I’d personally like to see two more editions of this report show positive numbers. If we get that – it may signify that a turnaround is in fact at hand.

Hi Kevin, That looks like a good sign, doesn't it? In our area we saw more sales for May than in previous months. I'm being hopeful things are starting to turn back around. .-= Barbara Swafford´s last blog ..Finding Pleasure In Ordinary Things =-.
