FHFA notes: The FHFA HPI is a broad measure of the movement of single-family house prices. The FHFA HPI is a weighted, repeat-sales index, meaning that it measures average price changes in repeat sales or refinancings on the same properties. FHFA describes its ZIP code indexes as developmental: they may be revised as new data arrive or methods change, and the index does not give a dollar value for any home.

Decade by decade
| Decade | Change | United States | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000s (2000–2010) | +50.4% | +29.7% | |

FHFA reports each index with a value of 100 in its base period, the first year the area has enough transactions (1998 here). A decade's change is the index at the end of the decade divided by the index at the start, so it does not depend on the base year; the United States column covers the same years. Decades before 1998 are not shown.
