Washington, D.C. – U.S. house prices rose 0.6 percent in November, according to the U.S. Federal Housing (FHFA) seasonally adjusted monthly House Price Index (FHFA HPI®). House prices rose 1.9 percent from November 2024 to November 2025. The previously reported 0.4 percent price change in October remained unchanged.
For the nine census divisions, seasonally adjusted monthly home price changes ranged from 0.0 percent in the Middle Atlantic division to +1.1 percent in the East South Central division. The 12-month changes ranged from -0.4 percent in the Pacific division to +5.1 percent in the East North Central division.
The FHFA HPI is a comprehensive collection of publicly available house price indexes that measure changes in single-family home values based on data that extend back to the mid-1970s from all 50 states and over 400 American cities. It incorporates tens of millions of home sales and offers insights about house price changes at the national, census division, state, metro area, county, ZIP code, and census tract levels. FHFA uses a fully transparent methodology based upon a weighted, repeat-sales statistical technique to analyze house price transaction data.
FHFA releases HPI data and reports quarterly and monthly. The flagship FHFA HPI uses seasonally adjusted, purchase-only data from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Additional indexes use other data, including refinances, mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration, and real property records. All the indexes (including their historic values) and information about future HPI release dates are available on FHFA’s website: https://www.fhfa.gov/HPI.
The next HPI report will be released on February 24, 2026, and will include monthly data through December and quarterly data through the fourth quarter of 2025.
