S&P/Case-Shiller® Home Price Index updates are produced on a monthly basis, and are disseminated at 9:00 AM EST on the last Tuesday of each month.

Each index update reflects approximately three months of property transactions data. The monthly index calculations use a look-back period of less than two months (e.g., the most recent home sales data incorporated into a June index update will have April transaction dates). Here is an illustration of the composition of a series of monthly S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index releases:

Please note that the S&P/CSIs have been developed to facilitate the creation of financial products such as index-linked notes, and other derivative financial contracts and products. Although based upon the same "repeat sales" technology and underlying data, the features of the S&P/CSI are different than the former, "standard" variety of Case-Shiller® Indexes (CSIs) produced by Fiserv, Inc. for informational purposes. For a summary of these differences, please click here.
