PrintJuly FHFA Home-Price Index Falls Less Than Expected
BY MT Newswires | AGENCY | 09/30/25 09:00 AM EDT09:00 AM EDT, 09/30/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The FHFA's measure of home prices fell by 0.1% in July after an unrevised 0.2% decrease in the previous month, less than the 0.2% drop expected in a survey compiled by Bloomberg as of 7:35 am ET.
Prices were up 2.3% from a year earlier in July.
Home prices declined in five of the nine regions from June, was up in three regions and held steady in one region.
The monthly home price index report from the Federal Housing Finance Agency measures single-family home prices across the US with a two-month lag, broken down by region. The FHFA reports percentage gains both from the previous month and a year earlier.
Higher home prices are inflationary and a negative for bonds. The outcome for housing-related stocks is mixed, as higher prices suggest strong demand, but prices that are accelerating too fast can also deter potential buyers.
