Housing

Home prices, mortgage rates, housing starts, permits, and inventory — the state of U.S. residential real estate.

Housing is a big share of household wealth, household spending, and CPI — which makes it worth watching from multiple angles at once. This page tracks the Case-Shiller and FHFA price indices, 30-year mortgage rates, housing starts, building permits, and months of supply, so you can see whether the market is tightening or cooling.
