Home Prices Have Hit Bottom

Here's More Evidence That Home Prices Have Hit Bottom
By Nick Timiraos, The Wall Street Journal, Sept 4, 2012

In each of the last three years, home prices have increased in the spring and summer, when more people are buying homes, before giving back all of those gains and then some in the fall and winter, when activity cools.
But it is beginning to look like that might not happen this year, absent a major stumble for the economy.
Home prices in July were up by 3.8% from one year ago, the largest year-over-year jump in six years. Moreover, prices have shot up by 9.6% from February, when they registered their lowest levels of the housing downturn, according to CoreLogic CLGX -0.35% data released Tuesday.
