Home prices in 20 cities fell a record-breaking 19 percent in January from the previous year, a sign that the prolonged housing slump shows no sign of abating, according to S&P/Case-Shiller Homes Prices Index data released today.
Average home prices across the United States are at a similar level to what they were in 2003, the report says.
All 20 of the metropolitan areas measured reported annual price drops, and each has had at least five consecutive months of decline. Home price indices in nine of the areas have fallen more than 20 percent in the last year.

Subject: Organic SEO – Foreclosurechase.com
Dear Head of Business Development at Foreclosurechase.com,
Were you aware that you are paying every time your online marketing advertisement is clicked? It hurts! I know, as many of our clients have shared this frustration when I first talked to them about how to drive more quality prospects to their sites – without having to constantly pay for every click.
I thought you might like to know some of the reasons why you are not getting more organic (FREE) search engine traffic for foreclosurechase.com
1. Your home page rank is 2, this can be improved further.
2. Your title is 83% relevant. This can be improved for higher Google ranking.
3. Open directory listing is not available.
If you can stomach more bad news about what your site needs, and are curious to know what our working together would involve, then I would be glad to provide you with further detailed analysis in the form of a SEO SITE REPORT – FREE OF CHARGE. I would first need to know that you are serious about using our services, as the report would involve several hours of our research.
To brief you about the company, we are an ISO 9001 certified team of over 500 SEO specialists in the USA, UK, Australia and India and would like to talk with you about how you should be winning new business from the search engines, without paying advertisers over and over again for it.
SEO is not instantaneous, it is not free, but it is the only sensible internet marketing choice. Your return on investment (ROI) after 6 months of SEO will be at least 3 times that of paid advertisements, and many times greater than our cost. In fact, we guarantee that in the first month of our work you will see an improvement in ranking, link popularity and traffic or we’ll work for free until you do! Our clients’ consistently tell us that their customers find them because they are at the top of Google. Being on the top left of Google (#1- #5 Organic positions) is the best thing you can do for your company’s website traffic and online reputation.
Ironically, It’s very likely that had you spent your last 6 months of online marketing dollars on SEO instead of paid advertising that you would have 3 times or greater the traffic today and not need the paid advertising at all.
Fortunately you can still start today and begin getting that traffic in just a few weeks. We look forward to discussing our SEO plans with you.
Sounds interesting? Feel free to email us or alternatively you can provide your best time and phone number to call you.
Best Regards
Sales Team
