WASHINGTON – Home prices fell 1.8% during the third quarter and were down 6% from the same period last year, the Federal Housing Finance Agency reported today.

The FHA noted that during the past year, prices of other goods and services increased 6.7% and therefore, the inflation-adjusted price of homes fell 12.7% during that period.

The agency's House Price Index, which is based on data from home sales and appraisals for refinancing, fell 2.7% between July and September, a 4% drop from the same period last year.
