House prices for this FHFA metro area, real and nominal, since the series begins.
FHFA purchase-only, principal metropolitan division · 1991 Q1 to 2026 Q2 · real terms in 2024 dollars · built 2026-10-31
All metro areas · FHFA publishes the largest metros only as their principal metropolitan division, so this is the core of the metro rather than the whole of it.
The index
Real and nominal, first quarter of the series = 100; the shaded band is 2007 to 2012.
How this is measured
Real terms deflate each quarter by that year's US CPI, stated in 2024 dollars; the CPI runs to 2024, so later quarters sit at 2024 prices until the next print. Purchase-only means repeat sales of the same homes with refinance appraisals excluded, the cleaner of FHFA's two indices, published for the 100 largest metro areas.
