The FHFA monthly HPI is calculated using home sales price information from mortgages sold to, or guaranteed by, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because of this, the selection excludes high-end homes bought with jumbo loans or cash sales.

Home price changes varied for the month from the decrease of 0.2% in the South Atlantic division to the increase of 1.5% in the Pacific division. Annually, all home prices increased from 4.7% in the Middle Atlantic division to 7.7% in the Pacific division.
