What exactly is being measured?
The FHFA purchase-only house price index, built from repeat sales of the same properties financed by mortgages Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac bought. It tracks price movement rather than price level, and it excludes cash purchases and homes bought with jumbo or government-backed loans, so very high and very low ends of a market are underrepresented.
