The year-end value of the S&P Case Shiller National Home Price Index amounted to 321.45 in 2024. The index value was equal to 100 as of January 2000, so if the index value is equal to 130 in a given year, for example, it means that the house prices increased by 30 percent since 2000. S&P/Case Shiller U.S. home indices – additional informationThe S&P Case Shiller National Home Price Index is calculated on a monthly basis and is based on the prices of single-family homes in nine U.S. Census divisions: New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central, South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central, Mountain and Pacific. The index is the leading indicator of the American housing market and one of the indicators of the state of the broader economy. The index illustrates the trend of home prices and can be helpful during house purchase decisions. When house prices are rising, a house buyer might want to speed up the house purchase decision as the transaction costs can be much higher in the future. The S&P Case Shiller National Home Price Index has been on the rise since 2011.The S&P Case Shiller National Home Price Index is one of the indices included in the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index Series. Other indices are the S&P/Case Shiller 20-City Composite Home Price Index, the S&P/Case Shiller 10-City Composite Home Price Index and twenty city composite indices.

In the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, the Philippines exhibited the highest year-on-year (YoY) inflation-adjusted increase in house prices among the Asia-Pacific countries under observation. In Q2 2025, real house prices in the Philippines grew by about ****percent YoY, while in Hong Kong, prices declined by about ***** percent YoY over the same period. These figures are based on the development of the real house price index, using 2010 as a baseline year.

Global house prices experienced a significant shift in 2022, with advanced economies seeing a notable decline after a prolonged period of growth. The real house price index (adjusted for inflation) for advanced economies peaked at nearly *** index points in early 2022 before falling to around ***** points by the second quarter of 2023. In the second quarter of 2025, the index reached ***** points. This represents a reversal of the upward trend that had characterized the housing market for roughly a decade. Likewise, real house prices in emerging economies declined after reaching a high of ***** points in the third quarter of 2021. What is behind the slowdown? Inflation and slow economic growth have been the primary drivers for the cooling of the housing market. Secondly, the growing gap between incomes and house prices since 2012 has decreased the affordability of homeownership. Last but not least, homebuyers in 2024 faced dramatically higher mortgage interest rates, further contributing to worsening sentiment and declining transactions. Some markets continue to grow While many countries witnessed a deceleration in house price growth in 2022, some markets continued to see substantial increases. Turkey, in particular, stood out with a nominal increase in house prices of over ** percent in the first quarter of 2025. Other countries that recorded a two-digit growth include North Macedonia and Russia. When accounting for inflation, the three countries with the fastest growing residential prices in early 2025 were North Macedonia, Portugal, and Bulgaria.

METHODOLOGY NOTES (across all datasets for this indicator) Median housing price estimates for the region, counties, cities, and zip code come from analysis of individual home sales by Zillow. The median sale price is the price separating the higher half of the sales from the lower half. In other words, 50 percent of home sales are below or above the median value. Zillow defines all homes as single-family residential, condominium, and co-operative homes with a county record. Single-family residences are detached, which means the home is an individual structure with its own lot. Condominiums are units that you own in a multi-unit complex, such as an apartment building. Co-operative homes are slightly different from condominiums where the homeowners own shares in the corporation that owns the building, not the actual units themselves.

For metropolitan area comparison values, the Bay Area metro area’s median home sale price is the population-weighted average of the nine counties’ median home prices. Home sales prices are not reliably available for Houston, because Texas is a non-disclosure state.

Inflation-adjusted data are presented to illustrate how home prices have grown relative to overall price increases; that said, the use of the Consumer Price Index does create some challenges given the fact that housing represents a major chunk of consumer goods bundle used to calculate CPI. This reflects a methodological tradeoff between precision and accuracy and is a common concern when working with any commodity that is a major component of CPI itself.

In 2025, Turkey had the highest inflation-adjusted house price index out of the ** European countries under observation, making it the country where house prices have increased the most since 2010. In Turkey, the house price index exceeded *** index points in the second quarter of 2025, showing an increase in real terms of *** percent since 2010, the baseline year for the index. Iceland and Hungary completed the top three, with an index value of *** and *** index points. In the past year, however, many European countries saw house prices decline in real terms. Where can I find other metrics on different housing markets in Europe? To assess the valuation in different housing markets, one can compare the house-price-to-income ratios of different countries worldwide. These ratios are calculated by dividing nominal house prices by nominal disposable income per head. There are also ratios that look at how residential property prices relate to domestic rents, such as the house-price-to-rent ratio for the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, these numbers are not available in a European overview. An overview of the price per square meter of an apartment in the EU-28 countries is available, however. One region, different markets An important trait of the European housing market is that there is not one market, but multiple. Property policy in Europe lies with the domestic governments, not with the European Union. This leads to significant differences between European countries, which shows in, for example, the homeownership rate (the share of owner-occupied dwellings of all homes). These differences also lead to another problem: the availability of data. Non-Europeans might be surprised to see that house price statistics vary in depth, as every country has their own methodology and no European body exists that tracks this data for the whole continent.

Inflation-adjusted house prices in the United Kingdom (UK), continued to decline in the second quarter of 2023 - a trend that started in the fourth quarter of 2022. The nominal house price grew by **** percent in the second quarter of 2023, but when adjusted for inflation, there was a decline of **** percent.

EnhancedHousingMarketData.csv is an auxiliary dataset for the "Housing Prices" competition, containing key economic and demographic indicators vital for real estate market analysis. It includes data on non-farm employment, housing price index, per capita income, total quarterly wages, quantitative indexes of real GDP, total GDP, real GDP, stable population, employed individuals, and the average weekly wage in the private sector, along with the unemployment rate. This dataset aids in better understanding the factors influencing housing prices and allows for a more in-depth analysis of the real estate market.

"**TotalNonfarmEmployees**" - reflects the total number of employees working outside the agricultural sector. This figure includes workers in industries such as manufacturing, construction, trade, transportation, education, healthcare, and other non-agricultural sectors, making it a key indicator of economic activity and employment in the region.

"**HousingPriceIndex**" - represents a housing price index, reflecting changes in real estate prices in a specific region for a given month. This index can be used to analyze trends in the real estate market and assess the overall economic conditions.

"**AnnualPerCapitaIncome**" - represents the annual per capita income, measured yearly. This indicator reflects the average income per resident in a specific region over a year, serving as an important measure of the population's economic well-being.

"**QuarterlyTotalWages**" - represents the total quarterly wages, measured in dollars and adjusted for seasonal variations. This metric reflects the sum of wages paid by employers insured for unemployment insurance over a calendar quarter. It includes components such as vacation pay, bonuses, and tips.

"**TotalRealGDPChainIndex**" - represents the total annual quantitative index of real GDP, encompassing data from all private sectors and the government. It is based on the Fisher chain-weighted method, tracking changes in production volume or expenditures while eliminating the effects of price changes. This index is useful for comparing the volumes of production or expenditures across different time periods.

"**TotalGDP**" - describes the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP), measured in millions of dollars and calculated annually without seasonal adjustments. This metric encompasses all private sectors and the government, reflecting the market value of all final goods and services produced within an agglomeration. The agglomeration GDP represents the gross output minus intermediate costs, serving as a key indicator of economic activity and production volume.

"**TotalRealGDP**" - represents the total real Gross Domestic Product, measured in millions of chained 2012 dollars and calculated annually without seasonal adjustments. This metric includes data from all private sectors and the government. The real GDP for agglomerations is a measure of the gross product of each agglomeration, adjusted for inflation, and based on national prices for goods and services produced in the agglomeration.

"**StablePopulation**" - reflects the stable population, measured in thousands of people and calculated annually without seasonal adjustments. This metric represents population estimates as of July 1st each year, providing reliable data for analyzing demographic trends and planning purposes.

"**EmployedIndividuals**" - represents the number of employed individuals, measured in persons without seasonal adjustment and updated monthly. The data are derived from the Current Population Survey (CPS). Employed individuals include those who did any paid work, owned a business or farm, worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in a family business, or were temporarily absent from their job for various reasons. This metric is important for analyzing employment levels and the economic activity of the population.

"**AverageWeeklyWagePrivate**" - denotes the average weekly wage of private enterprise employees, measured in dollars per week and calculated quarterly without seasonal adjustment. It includes payments made by employers insured against unemployment over the quarter, encompassing vacation pay, bonuses, stock options, tips, and other components. This metric is important for assessing the level of wages in the private sector.

"**UnemploymentRate**" - represents the unemployment rate, measured in percentages and calculated monthly without seasonal adjustments. This metric indicates the proportion of the unemployed within the total labor force, providing key information about the labor market's condition and the population's economic activity.

METHODOLOGY NOTES (across all datasets for this indicator)
Housing price estimates at the regional-, county-, city- and zip code-level come from analysis of individual home sales by Zillow based upon transaction records. Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI) is a smoothed, seasonally adjusted measure of the typical home value and market changes across a given region and housing type. It reflects the typical value for homes in the 35th to 65th percentile range. ZHVI is computed from public record transaction data as reported by counties. All standard real estate transactions are included in this metric, including REO sales and auctions. Zillow makes a substantial effort to remove transactions not typically considered a standard sale. Examples of these include bank takeovers of foreclosed properties, title transfers after a death or divorce and non arms-length transactions. Zillow defines all homes as single-family residential, condominium and co-operative homes with a county record. Single-family residences are detached, which means the home is an individual structure with its own lot. Condominiums are units that can be owned in a multi-unit complex, such as an apartment building. Co-operative homes are slightly different from condominiums in that the homeowners own shares in the corporation that owns the building, not the actual units themselves.

For metropolitan area comparison values, the Bay Area metro area’s median home sale price is the population-weighted average of the nine counties’ median home prices. Data is adjusted for inflation using Bureau of Labor Statistics metropolitan statistical area (MSA)-specific series. Inflation-adjusted data are presented to illustrate how home prices have grown relative to overall price increases; that said, the use of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) does create some challenges given the fact that housing represents a major chunk of consumer goods bundle used to calculate CPI. This reflects a methodological tradeoff between precision and accuracy and is a common concern when working with any commodity that is a major component of the CPI itself.
