Home prices unchanged in January: S&P Mar 27th 2012, 13:16 NEW YORK | Tue Mar 27, 2012 9:11am EDT NEW YORK (Reuters) - Single-family home prices were unchanged in January, suggesting the battered housing market continues to crawl along the bottom, a closely watched survey said on Tuesday. The S&P/Case Shiller composite index of 20 metropolitan areas was flat in January on a seasonally adjusted basis. A Reuters poll of economists forecast a decline of 0.2 percent after December's 0.5 percent drop. But on a non-seasonally adjust basis, prices tumbled 0.8 percent. On a yearly basis, prices fared a little better with January notching a 3.8 percent decline compared to the year before, in line with expectations and an improvement from December's 4.0 percent drop.
