Creating the chart
This chart was created using FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data) using the following data series:
- Median Sales Price of Houses Sold for the United States (MSPUS) in nominal dollars (unadjusted for inflation). Median value means half the homes sold for more than this price and half for less, for a given time period.[1]
- The same series is also shown as an index value. An index value of 150 means that the price rose 50% above the 100 level.
Interpreting the chart
The median price of U.S. homes sold increased 56% between January 2000 ($165,300) and the peak in January 2007 ($257,400), on top of a 33% increase from January 1990 to January 2000. Prices fell 19% from peak to trough in January 2009. They were 11% below peak as of January 2012.
