Home-price growth in the US started to slow in April.

A national measure of prices climbed 20.4%, down from the 20.6% gain in March, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller index showed Tuesday. Craig Lazzara, a managing director at S&P Dow Jones Indices, noted that April’s figures were showing initial, but inconsistent, signs of a deceleration in price gains.
