Home Prices Fall A Record 15.6%

Year-over-year prices may have fallen at a record pace, but there are signs of improvement.

NEW YORK
(CNNMoney.com) -- Median home prices fell a record 15.6% during the three months ended June 30, compared to the same period in 2008, according to an industry report.

There is good news though: The survey from the National Association of Realtors reported the median home price rose 4% compared to the first quarter of 2009 -- to $174,100 from $167,300.

The increase in median price was not a surprise, representing, as it did, the traditionally strong spring selling season. But the jump did offer the prospect that the worst of the price declines may be behind us.

Funny, we don't see assessments & taxes falling...at any rate.
Our property value fell 1.9% in 30 days, according to an internet based assessment base.
