NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Prices of U.S. single-family homes rose by a seasonally adjusted 0.7% in February from January but were down 6.5% from a year earlier, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said on Wednesday.
The regulator's monthly home price index for January was revised down to a 1% increase from a previously reported 1.7% gain.
The index is 9.5% below its April 2007 peak.
For the nine Census Divisions, seasonally-adjusted monthly price changes in February ranged from a 1.2% decline in the East North Central Division to a 3.8% increase in the Pacific Division, FHFA said.
The index is calculated using purchase prices of houses financed with mortgages that have been sold to or guaranteed by mortgage finance sources Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac
FHFA regulates Fannie Mae (FNM, Fortune 500), Freddie Mac (FRE, Fortune 500) and the 12 Federal Home Loan Banks.
