Housing Price Index (MoM): Release Dates, Results & History
Housing Price Index (MoM) last printed 0 on Tue, Aug 25, 2026 against a 0.2 consensus forecast and a 0.3 prior, a -0.67 standard-deviation surprise. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.
This is the purchase-only home price index: repeat sales of the same houses financed with conforming mortgages, refis excluded, so it is the cleanest read on what buyers are actually paying. Home prices lead shelter CPI by a year or more, which makes the trend here the pipeline for the stickiest chunk of the inflation basket. It lands the same morning as Case-Shiller and the two together set the month's home-price narrative.

How it moves Treasuries
Rarely a same-day Treasury mover. A run of reaccelerating prints keeps shelter disinflation in doubt and leans against cuts; cooling prices quietly build the case for them. See it scored live on the Helious desk, or read how the standard-deviation surprise is computed.
