The longest consecutive monthly period of rising home resale values in the Minneapolis area since 2005 has ended.

The Case Shiller Index released today shows the resale value of homes in the area dropped .7% from September to October. That stops a six-month streak of increasing values; that's the longest since 2005, when prices increased every month for almost four years.

Here's how the area stacks up with other regions:

City
1 Month Change
Las Vegas
2.8%
Phoenix
1.4%
San Diego
1.3%
Portland
0.9%
San Francisco
0.7%
Los Angeles
0.6%
Detroit
0.3%
Denver
0.0%
Miami
-0.2%
Seattle
-0.2%
Atlanta
-0.4%
New York
-0.4%
Charlotte
-0.5%
Tampa
-0.5%
Washington
-0.5%
Cleveland
-0.6%
Dallas
-0.7%
Minneapolis
-0.7%
Boston
-1.4%
Chicago
-1.5%


Year-over-year, however, Minneapolis had a healthy year of home values, certainly much better than most other northern cities.

City

Phoenix
21.7%
Detroit
10.0%
Minneapolis
9.2%
San Francisco
8.9%
Miami
8.5%
Las Vegas

Denver
6.9%
Los Angeles

San Diego

Tampa

Seattle

Portland

Atlanta

Washington

Charlotte
4.1%
Cleveland

Boston
1.6%
New York

Chicago

Since the peak of the housing market in 2006, however, home resale prices in the Minneapolis area have dropped 27 percent. They're up 18 percent since the bottom of the housing market in 2011.
