National context
Mortgage rates set the financial envelope every regional market lives inside. Shown at level (not YoY); the rate's value is what matters to a buyer, not its year-over-year change.

Why year-over-year
Housing markets run on a strong seasonal cycle. Listings, sales, prices, and pace all peak in late spring through summer and trough in late fall through winter. A chart of raw monthly values shows the season more loudly than it shows the trend, and two consecutive months can move 10-20% just because the calendar turned.
Year-over-year percent change compares each month to the same month a year prior, which cancels out the season and leaves the underlying signal. The dashed zero line on each chart marks "same as last year." A line drifting above zero means the metric is genuinely growing; below zero means it is genuinely shrinking. The hero stats at the top still show the latest raw value with the YoY change beside it.
Definitions
- Median sale price
- The price at which half of closings sold for more and half for less, for a given month. Less skewed by extreme high-end sales than the mean.
- Median listing price
- The middle asking price among active listings. Reflects what sellers want; sale price reflects what the market clears at.
- Active listings
- Total homes listed for sale at the end of the period. A "stock" measure (snapshot in time), not a "flow."
- New listings
- Listings that came onto the market during the period. A "flow" measure of supply.
- Days on market
- How long the typical listing sat before going under contract. Median, to suppress outlier effects.
- Year-over-year (YoY) change
- The percent change between an observation and the same period one year earlier. Cancels seasonality. Positive = growing vs. last year; negative = shrinking.
- Case-Shiller HPI
- S&P/Case-Shiller's metro home price index, built from repeat-sales of the same property. Filters out the composition-mix problem that distorts simple medians.
- FHFA HPI
- The Federal Housing Finance Agency's all-transactions house price index. Built from mortgages purchased by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; narrower price band than Case-Shiller but reaches every state and most MSAs.
- ZHVI (Zillow Home Value Index)
- Zillow's smoothed, seasonally-adjusted estimate of typical home value (35th-65th percentile) for a region.
- Building permits
- Privately-owned housing units authorized in permit-issuing places. A forward-looking signal: today's permits become tomorrow's supply.
Methodology
Every series on this page is pulled directly from a public source on a manual schedule. There is no proprietary model and no broker-supplied data. Each chart shows its source name, a link to the source's canonical page, and the specific series identifier so any reader can pull the same numbers themselves.
FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis) is the single largest source. It mirrors Realtor.com listing data, hosts the S&P/Case-Shiller and FHFA price indexes, and carries the Freddie Mac mortgage rate survey and Census building-permit counts. All FRED series are public domain.
Redfin Data Center contributes the statewide median sale price and homes-sold counts. Redfin's metro-level public S3 data was retired in 2024-25 (now available only through their Tableau visualizations), which is why the metro-level price line on the Twin Cities panel is the Zillow Home Value Index rather than a Redfin median.
Zillow Research contributes the ZHVI metro series. Free, attribution-required, methodology documented at zillow.com/research.
The data window is the last 2 years. Charts display year-over-year percent change as the primary view because housing data is highly seasonal; raw monthly lines show the calendar more clearly than the trend. Mortgage rate is the exception: it is shown at level because the rate's value matters more than its year-over-year change. Refresh happens manually via a script in the repo.
