米S&Pケース・シラー指数 １１月分

先程11月の米国S&Pケースシラー住宅指数が発表になった。8月からの下落傾向に歯止めが掛っていない。アナリストの間では、ちらほら「二番底」という声を聞こえてきているようだ。 ロス、サンディエゴ、サンフランシスコ、ワシントンDCだけが上昇した。

U.S. home prices fell in November, continuing a downward trend that began in August, according to the S&P Case-Shiller home-price indexes.
"With these numbers, more analysts will be calling for a double-dip in home prices," David Blitzer, chairman of S&P's index committee, said. Mr. Blitzer last month predicted that the double-dip for the housing sector had nearly arrived as six cities hit their lowest levels since home prices began dropping in 2006 and 2007.
The indexes, based on the three-month averages of home prices, turned lower in August for the first time in four months, a delayed response to housing-market weakness after federal home-buyer tax credits expired in April. Though home prices in November remained above lows in spring 2009, prices in eight markets -- Atlanta, Charlotte, Detroit, Las Vegas, Miami, Portland, Ore., Seattle and Tampa -- fell below those levels.
The Case-Shiller index of 10 major metropolitan areas fell 0.8% and the 20-city index fell 1% last month from October.
They were down 0.4% and 1.6%, respectively, from a year earlier. Adjusted for seasonal factors, the sequential declines were 1%.
In November, prices in one metropolitan statistical area covered by the index, San Diego, edged up 0.1% from October. Year-to-year, four metropolitan areas saw improvement: Los Angeles, up 2.1%; San Diego, up 2.6%, San Francisco, up 0.4% and Washington, D.C., up 3.5%.
The National Association of Realtors said last week that sales of previously occupied homes rose a better-than-expected 12.3% in December from November. Despite the monthly growth, the housing market remains a weak spot for the economy. Last year, about 4.9 million homes were sold, the worst year since 1997 and down 4.8% from 2009.　（WSJ）
