Annual FHFA all-transactions index of single-family house prices in US counties, with 1990 equal to 100.

Developmental nominal index, not seasonally adjusted. Uses sale prices and refinance appraisals for mortgages purchased or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Differs from purchase-only indexes.
