2. The national Case-Shiller house price index will decline by another 11% from the fourth quarter of last year for a total peak-to-trough decline of 36%.

3. By the end of this unprecedented downturn, house prices will have declined by double digits peak to trough in nearly 62% of the nation’s 381 metro areas. In about 10% of metro areas, price declines will exceed 30%.

Do you have data only on the major metro areas? Such as Sacramento CA, San Francisco CA or also the smaller metro markets example, Chico/Paradise CA .
