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.
