About this tool
This dashboard shows housing market indicators for states and counties across most of the country, including home price changes, months' supply of homes for sale, new construction activity, and mortgage risk. It helps users judge whether a local market is short on homes and how affordable it is.
- Shows
- Home price appreciation (including year-over-year change), months' supply, the mortgage risk index, new-construction share, median and average sale prices, price-to-income ratios, and market shares. Indicators are broken out by price tier (all homes, entry-level, and move-up) for counties, states, and the nation.
- Places
- Nation, States, Counties
Questions it answers

- How have home prices changed in my county or state over the past year?
- How much of the home sales in my area are new construction?
- How do prices compare with incomes in my county?
- How do entry-level homes compare with move-up homes in my market on price growth and mortgage risk?
Limits

- Mortgage risk values are capped at 36% and months' supply at 24 months for display.
- Prices are rounded and shown in thousands of dollars.
