Case-Shiller®
Home Price Index ForecastsEXCLUSIVE FORECASTS OF THE MOST ACCURATE MEASURE OF U.S. HOME PRICES
Case-Shiller® Home Price Index Forecasts
The Case-Shiller Home Price Indexes are widely recognized as the most accurate measure of changes in house prices over time. They measure the total market, not just prices of homes purchased through conforming loans. Using Robert Shiller and Karl Case’s time-tested repeat-sales methodology, CSIs are value-weighted and based on observed changes in the value of actual sales. This methodology eliminates appraisal bias, filters out non-arm’s-length sales, and down-weights pairs with long intervals between sales to reduce the influence of extreme price changes.
