During April, the S&P/Case-Shiller index that covers 10 U.S. cities fell 2.7 percent from year-ago levels, making it the steepest decline since 1991.

“No region is immune to the weakening price returns,” MacroMarkets Chief Economist Robert Shiller said in a statement.

The greatest year-over-year declines were felt in Boston, Detroit, Phoenix, San Diego and Washington, D.C..

Though the housing slump has been a nationwide epidemic, a few regions posted year-over-year housing price gains including Charlotte, N.C., Seattle, WA and Portland, Ore.

And four cities reported price increases in April from March, including Atlanta, Boston, Dallas and Denver.[tags] real estate bubble, housing bubble, real estate market, home values, home prices, San Diego real estate{/tags] condos downtown San Diego
