WASHINGTON (May 12, 1999 11:27 a.m. EDT nandotimes.com) - Prices of existing homes climbed in most metropolitan areas during the first three months of this year.

Nationally, the median resale price - meaning half of homes sold for more and half for less - was $131,600 during the January-March quarter, up 4.6 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday.

By comparison, inflation rose at a 1.7 percent annual rate during 1998 and has kept to an even lower 1.5 percent rate so far this year.
