Enter what you paid and when in the estimator above. It grows the price by your state’s index since that quarter, the same method as FHFA’s own calculator. A local agent or appraisal will be closer for one house.
How often is this updated?
Every quarter. FHFA publishes each quarter’s index about two months after it ends, in late February, May, August and November.
