Eight of the top 20 metro areas, as well as both composite measures had their biggest monthly declines in February, S&P said in the release.
The pace of the monthly drop accelerated in February, with the 20-city index sliding 2.4 percent and the 10-city index falling 2.3 percent in January.
"There is no sign of a bottom in the numbers," David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P, said in a press release.
