The AEI Housing Center provides the most advanced and timely information on home prices available. For example, the Case Shiller home price index, which will come out later this month, will be an average of July, August, and September 2024, thus effectively reflecting August’s HPA. The AEI Housing Center’s November release is for October, two full months later. Additionally, we use Optimal Blue rate lock data to project November and December 2024’s home price appreciation.
