The Meter reads the FHFA state-level House Price Index (annual resolution, 1975–2026). It is a historical data observation about market movement — not a claim about what any individual gained or lost, not a forecast, and not financial, legal, or mortgage advice. Denials have many causes; market movement afterward is context, not blame. FRC Research · financeratecalc.com
