First American notes that 44 states had price declines in March, compared with 30 the year before, and the number of states posting double-digit price drops went from seven in March 2008 to 14 in March 2009. First American notes that U.S. home prices, which peaked in July 2006, have fallen more than 22% and are at their lowest point in five years.”
