Another report showed home prices in 20 U.S. cities dropped at a slower pace in February, pointing to stabilization in the real-estate market. The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values fell 3.5 percent from a year earlier, the smallest 12-month drop since February 2011, a report from the group showed today in New York. The gauge climbed from the prior month on a seasonally adjusted basis for the first time since April of last year.
Confidence among consumers was little changed in April, other figures showed. The Conference Board's confidence index was at 69.2 compared to a revised 69.5 in the prior month, figures from the New York-based private research group showed today.
New-home sales have lost their ability to forecast the broader market as demand shifts to previously owned houses. New properties made up almost 7 percent of the market last year, down from a high of 15 percent during the last decade's housing boom.
