The Office of the Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) House Price Index (HPI) for the 12 months ending in September 1996, showed house prices rising fastest in the Midwest states and slowest in the Pacific Coast and Middle Atlantic regions. The HPI for the third quarter of 1996 was released today by OFHEO. The HPI uses data obtained from home sales and refinancing appraisals to track movements of single-family house values at the state and regional level, and nationwide.
Note:FHFA publishes monthly and quarterly HPI reports. OFHEO, one of the predecessor agencies to FHFA, was responsible for publishing the HPI prior to the fall of 2008.
