What Is the FHFA House Price Index?
A homeowner-focused explanation of the FHFA HPI and how this site uses it.

Broad house price movement
The FHFA HPI® is a public set of house price indexes that measures broad movement in single-family home values across geographies and time periods.
This site uses FHFA HPI® files as a public data source, then turns selected regional series into lookup pages, charts, and calculator estimates.
Why it is useful
A repeatable public index is useful when you need an independent market trend source rather than a one-off estimate from a listing site.
It is especially helpful for historical comparisons, but it should not be confused with a current property-specific valuation.
