The S&P/Case-Shiller national index was up a seasonally adjusted 0.5% for the three-months that ended in January, and was up 6.2% compared to a year before. The 20-city index rose a seasonally adjusted 0.8% for the month, and 6.4% for the year. Prices are still on fire. And the West is still the best: Seattle led up 12.9% for the year.  Portland was up 0.4% for the month and 7.1% for the year. 

The total value of digital currencies fell below $300 billion overnight as more broad-based selling pushed some of the majors to multimonth lows. The No. 1 digital currency, bitcoin is $8,077 is up 2.4%, but remains near long-term support. The big loser among major cryptocurrencies is Ethereum. The smart-contract currency overnight reached its lowest level since Dec. 11, 2017. It’s down 6.8% on the day, to $456.80.
