The HPI (House Price Index) is a measure of the movement of single-family house prices prepared quarterly by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO). Because of the breadth of the sample, it provides more information than is available in other house price indexes. It is a measure designed to capture changes in the value of single-family homes in the U.S. as a whole, in various regions of the country, and in the individual states and the District of Columbia. The HPI is published by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) using data provided by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. OFHEO began publishing the HPI in the fourth quarter of 1995.

The HPI is published every three months, approximately two months after the end of the previous quarter. For more information visit this HPI FAQ page.
