Black Knight Home Price Index Report: November 2015 Transactions -- U.S. Home Prices Up 0.1 Percent for the Month; Up 5.5 Percent Year-Over-Year

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Data & Analytics division of Black Knight Financial Services, Inc. BKFS released its latest Home Price Index (HPI) report, based on November 2015 residential real estate transactions. The Black Knight HPI utilizes repeat sales data from the nation's largest public records data set, as well as its market-leading, loan-level mortgage performance data, to produce one of the most complete and accurate measures of home prices available for both disclosure and non-disclosure states. Non-disclosure states do not include property sales price information as part of their publicly available county recorder data. Black Knight is able to obtain the sales price information for these states by combining and matching records across its unique data assets.

Each month the Black Knight HPI reports five price levels (quintiles), along with REO discount rates, for 18,000+ U.S. ZIP codes. Findings are available with or without seasonal adjustments, although all numbers that follow have not been seasonally adjusted.
