Data for the Case-Shiller Index show Portland home prices dropped by 0.5% between August and September and fell by 11.8% year over year.

For the 18th straight month, no area in the 20-city index posted a year-over-year price gain. September also marks the quarterly release of the broader National Home Price Index, which posted its second consecutive quarterly increase though it remains 8.9% lower than a year earlier.

Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at Standard & Poor’s.
