FHFA: Home prices level off in January

Home prices remained unchanged in January from a downwardly adjusted December level, but fell 0.8% from a year earlier, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency‘s index.

The seasonally adjusted purchase-only index, calculated using mortgages sold to or guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, is roughly at February 2004 levels and 19.2% below its April 2007 peak. The actual value is 182.9.

The FHFA also adjusted its 0.7% monthly increase estimate for December down to a more modest 0.1%.
