S&P/Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index
Home prices go up and down, but tracking the actual changes is tricky because prices vary by neighborhood and season. This index solves that by measuring how prices for the same types of homes have changed over time across the whole country. It's the number most economists quote when talking about whether the housing market is heating up or cooling down. The index uses 100 as a baseline from 2000, so if it hits 200 today, homes are worth roughly twice what they were then. It adjusts for seasonal patterns so spring home-buying season doesn't skew the trends.
