The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices measures the residential housing market, tracking changes in the value of the residential real estate market in 20 metropolitan regions across the United States. These indices use the repeat sales pricing technique to measure housing markets. First developed by Karl Case and Robert Shiller, this methodology collects data on single-family home re-sales, capturing re-sold sale prices to form sale pairs. This index family consists of 20 regional indices and two composite indices as aggregates of the regions.
The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices are calculated monthly and published with a two month lag. New index levels are released at 9am Eastern Standard Time on the last Tuesday of every month.
In addition, the S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index is a broader composite of single-family home price indices for the nine U.S. Census divisions and is calculated quarterly.
Note: The S&P/Case Shiller Indices are calculated by Fiserv, Inc. In addition, Fiserv also offers indices covering thousands of zip codes and metro areas using the Case-Shiller methodology. For more information regarding Fiserv’s products, please call Fiserv Customer Support at 877-279-2272.
