The latest analysis of movement in house price indices - BCIS
Each month Halifax, Nationwide and HM Land Registry publish house price indices, tracking the movement in average house prices in the UK.
www.bcis.co.ukHere are the latest widely cited updates on House Price Indices (HPI) from reliable sources:
-
United States FHFA HPI: The Federal Housing Finance Agency's monthly index tracks changes in prices of single-family homes with mortgages guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The most recent FHFA release indicates slight month-to-month movements with annual gains around the low-to-mid single digits in 2025, signaling modest price growth overall. Source: FHFA HPI releases.[1][7]
-
UK HPI context: In the UK, multiple indices (Halifax, Nationwide, HM Land Registry) are published monthly and show varied but generally modest annual changes in 2025–early 2026. Bank-end data suggest continued, if uneven, price growth across regions, with affordability dynamics and mortgage rates influencing monthly movements. Sources: Halifax and Nationwide HPI reports; UK HPI methodology pages.[2][4][5]
-
Regional and monthly nuances: Trading Economics and other aggregators summarize both monthly variations and year-over-year changes for major markets, often highlighting small declines in some months and modest gains in others. This reflects ongoing sensitivity to interest rates, lending standards, and regional supply-demand conditions. Sources: Trading Economics HPI pages; BCIS-summary articles.[3][4]

How to read the data: HPI figures are typically reported as month-over-month changes (MoM) and year-over-year changes (YoY). They are based on measurements across states/regions (US) or countries/regions (UK) and can lag real-time market conditions due to data collection periods. Sources: FHFA HPI overview and methodology pages.[7]
If you’d like, I can assemble a quick, country-by-country snapshot with the latest MoM and YoY changes and produce a simple chart showing trends over the last 12 months for the US and UK. I can also pull the most recent explicit figures (percent changes) for your area of interest (Los Angeles specifically, if you want California-centric US data). Please tell me which countries or regions to prioritize and whether you want a chart (PNG) or a concise table.
