    NEW YORK--

    A closely watched index shows that U.S. home prices fell by 12.7% in February versus last year, with 17 of the 20 metro areas reporting record annual declines.

    The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home price index of 20 cities also showed Tuesday that home values in 10 cities plunged by double digits led by Las Vegas and Miami. Only Charlotte, N.C., posted a positive return year-over-year.

    All 20 metro areas have declined for six straight months.

    The narrower 10-city index set a record monthly decline of 13.6%.
