Where did home prices rise most in the last year?

In the year to the second quarter of 2026, home prices rose most in Hawaii (8.7%), West Virginia (8.0%) and Illinois (6.0%), on FHFA's index. They rose least in Colorado (0.2%) and fell slightly in the District of Columbia (−0.6%); across the U.S. they rose 3.0%. The index follows repeat sales and refinance appraisals of the same single-family houses with mortgages backed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, is not adjusted for inflation, and can swing more in small states with fewer sales.
