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.
The federal house price index for ZIP 77041 (Harris County, Texas) runs from 1979 to 2024 and has risen +274.3% over that time, from a base of 100 to 374. FHFA's most recent value for this area is for 2024, so every span here ends in 2024.
Over the ten years to 2024 the index rose +98.5%, about +7.1% a year: well above Harris County (+65.0%), close to Texas (+99.2%) and above the national index (+87.9%). The change over 2023–2024 was +7.1%.
By decade, the strongest was the 2010s (+54.7%) and the weakest the 1980s (−23.8%).
The index did not fall 5% or more from a peak between 2006 and 2012, which is unusual; small samples in a ZIP code can also mask movements.
Building activity is measured at county level: Harris County authorised 28,922 housing units in the 12 months to August 2026, 5.7 per 1,000 residents, 56% of them single-family.

Every column uses FHFA's annual all-transactions index family and the same start and end years, so the figures are directly comparable. A dash means the level has no index for that span.
Decade by decade
| Decade | Change | United States | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1980s (1980–1990) | −23.8% | +68.2% | |
| 1990s (1990–2000) | +44.3% | +33.9% | |
| 2000s (2000–2010) | +31.6% | +29.7% | |

| 2020s so far (2020–2024) | +52.6% | +42.9% |
FHFA reports each index with a value of 100 in its base period, the first year the area has enough transactions (1979 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 1979 are not shown.

Where does the index for this ZIP come from?
From the Federal Housing Finance Agency's annual five-digit ZIP code house price index (all-transactions), last updated March 31, 2026.

The index tracks price changes for the same homes over time; it does not give a dollar value for any home.
