FT.com / World - US home prices fall at record pace

FT.com / World - US home prices fall at record pace: "The gloom enveloping the US housing market intensified on Tuesday as home prices dropped at the fastest annual rate since records began 20 years ago.

The Standard & Poor’s/Case Shiller national house price index fell 14.1 per cent in the first quarter of this year, compared with the same period a year earlier, a decline that threatens to delay any recovery in the broader economy."

That's a masterpiece of understatement.
