Home Price Growth Remains Steady in First Quarter

WASHINGTON, April 17, 2025  Single-family home prices increased 5.2 percent from Q1 2024 to Q1 2025, largely unchanged from the previous quarter's year-over-year growth pace of 5.3 percent, according to the latest reading of the Fannie Mae (OTCQB: FNMA) Home Price Index (FNM-HPI). The FNM-HPI is a national, repeat-transaction home price index measuring the average, quarterly price change for all single-family properties in the United States, excluding condos. On a quarterly basis, home prices rose 1.4 percent in Q1 2025 on a seasonally adjusted and non-seasonally adjusted basis.

The FNM-HPI is produced by aggregating county-level data to create both seasonally adjusted and non-seasonally adjusted national indices that are representative of the whole country and designed to serve as indicators of general single-family home price trends. The FNM-HPI is publicly available at the national level as a quarterly series with a start date of Q1 1975 and extending to the most recent quarter, Q1 2025. Fannie Mae publishes the FNM-HPI approximately mid-month during the first month of each new quarter.

The full FNM-HPI data sets and a description of the methodology are available on Fannie Mae's Research and Insights page: https://www.fanniemae.com/research-and-insights
