What it means for your family
A sharp rise over a few years means the same home costs more than before, and so does the down payment. Past change does not say how much prices will rise or fall next.
How to read this ranking
- 1A cost ranking is not a quality-of-life ranking: a high or low value says nothing about what living in a place is like.
- 2Ties share a rank. When many places share the minimum (the FHA floor), they appear with the same rank.
- 3The difference from the United States compares with the national figure from the same source and date.
- FHFA considers its annual state and county indexes experimental; they can change when FHFA receives more data.
- The index only includes homes with loans bought or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; it does not count every sale.
- A past change does not tell you how prices will change in the future.
