U.S. Home Prices Rise More than Expected

U.S. single-family home prices showed a stronger-than-expected rise in September on a yearly basis, but the rate of the increase decelerated from August, a closely watched survey showed on Tuesday.

“The overall trend in home price increases continues to slow down,” David M. Blitzer, managing director and chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, said in a statement.

The S&P/Case Shiller composite index of 20 metropolitan areas gained 4.9 percent in September over September 2013. In August, it rose 5.6 percent on a yearly basis. A Reuters poll of economists forecast a 4.6 percent increase.
