Case-Shiller Index of U.S. Residential House Prices

This dataset provides comprehensive insights into U.S. residential house prices through the S&P Case-Shiller Home Price Index, which includes both the national index and indices for 20 metropolitan regions. The data is derived from the S&P Case-Shiller Index, a widely recognized and reliable measure of U.S. housing price movements. It is updated monthly and utilizes the "repeat sales method" to track the price changes of the same properties over time, making it an accurate reflection of housing appreciation.

Data Overview

The dataset includes: - S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index: A composite index of single-family home prices across nine U.S. Census divisions. - Indices for 20 Metropolitan Regions: Regional indices that highlight housing price trends in major U.S. cities.

Key Methodology

The index uses a "repeat sales" approach, which tracks properties that have been sold at least twice to capture changes in their value over time. This method minimizes biases from changes in housing stock or individual property characteristics. The index originated in the 1980s through the work of Karl E. Case and Robert J. Shiller, pioneers in developing the repeat sales technique. It remains one of the most trusted tools for measuring U.S. housing market trends.

The indices are used widely by policymakers, economists, and analysts to gauge housing market conditions and make informed decisions.

Use Cases

This dataset can be used for: - Housing Market Analysis: Track trends in national and metropolitan housing prices. - Econometric Modeling: Analyze the relationship between housing prices and macroeconomic factors. - Forecasting: Build models to predict future housing market movements.
