| U.S. home prices were unchanged in March but remained at a post-recession low, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city composite index. The flat reading breaks a streak of five consecutive declines. Five of the 20 cities in gauge — Atlanta, Chicago, Las Vegas, New York and Portland — hit new lows. Yet that was fewer than the nine cities that set new lows in February. | |||||||
