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.

Fort Bend County, Texas ZIP 77441 has 36 years of index history. Since 1989 the FHFA index has moved from 100 to 583, a change of +482.6%.

Over the ten years to 2025 the index rose +132.0%, about +8.8% a year: well above Fort Bend County (+90.5%), well above Texas (+88.2%) and well above the national index (+85.0%). The change over 2024–2025 was +19.5%.

By decade, the strongest was the 2000s (+69.9%) and the weakest the 1990s (+5.2%).

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.

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.

FHFA reports each index with a value of 100 in its base period, the first year the area has enough transactions (1989 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 1989 are not shown.

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