What Is the Housing Price Index (HPI)?
The Housing Price Index (HPI) tracks changes in single-family residential home prices over time. In the U.S., the FHFA creates the HPI based on a weighted repeat-sales methodology—analyzing multiple sales of the same property to gauge true value shifts([turn0search2], [turn0search0]). Another key benchmark, the S&P/Case-Shiller Index, also tracks these repeat sales to capture national and city-level housing trends([turn0news26], [turn0search33]).
These indices are vital for assessing housing affordability, predicting mortgage defaults, and guiding investment strategies.
