U.S Home Prices Increasing

Posted: Tue 7:40 AM, Feb 26, 2013

A new report shows rising sales and a smaller supply of available homes is driving up home prices.

The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index rose 6.8 percent in December compared with the same month a year ago. That's up from a 5.5 percent annual gain in November.

Nationwide, the report says prices rose 7.3 percent in 2012. That is similar to other home price measures that show a healthy gain last year.

Prices also rose in December compared with a year ago in 19 of the 20 cities tracked by the index. New York was the only metro area to show a decrease.
