September Case-Shiller US Home Price Index Declines

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 11/25/25 09:00 AM EST

09:00 AM EST, 11/25/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The Case-Shiller National Home Price index fell by 0.3% in September before seasonal adjustment following a 0.4% decrease in August.

National home prices were up 1.3% year-over-year, down from 1.4% in August.

The 10-city index and 20-city index were both down 0.5% in September.

National home prices were up 0.2% month-over-month in September after seasonal adjustment, with the 10-city measure up 0.2% and the 20-city measure 0.1% higher.

The monthly home price index report from S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller measures single-family home prices across the US with a two-month lag, broken down by city, with combined measures of the 10 and 20 largest cities and a national index. Case-Shiller reports percentage gains both from the previous month and a year earlier.

Higher home prices are inflationary and are usually negative for bonds. The possible 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.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
