Methodology

The FHFA House Price Index is a weighted, repeat-sales index that measures average price changes in repeat sales or refinancings on the same single-family properties. The all-transactions index incorporates both purchase mortgages and refinance appraisals; the index is calibrated to the West census region and rebased to 100 in the year 2000. Coverage begins in 1975 for Fresno.
