The S&P/Case-Shiller home price index increased 4.3% in November, missing expectations for a 4.5% rise, after a 4.5% gain in October. That was the slowest pace since October 2012.
Chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices David Blitzer said that "prospects for a home run in 2015 aren't good".
The S&P/Case-Shiller home price index measures single-family home prices in 20 U.S. cities.
