U.S. home prices continued to fall at the start of the year, pushing Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller home-price indexes down to new post-crisis lows in February.
The Case-Shiller index of 10 major metropolitan areas fell 0.8 percent in February from January. The 20-city index was also down 0.8% from the previous month. The U.S. housing market has remained mired in a sluggish recovery despite weakened home prices and interest rates that are hovering around historic lows.
