Housing Market Conditions

Introduction

U.S. | Arkansas | Illinois | Indiana | Kentucky | Mississippi | Missouri | Tennessee

The Housing Market Conditions (HMC) report is a quarterly overview of housing market conditions in each of the seven states that comprise the Federal Reserve's Eighth District.

The housing crisis has been milder in the Eighth District than in the rest of the nation. House prices did not increase as much as they did nationally during the boom years, and the subsequent decline has been milder in most areas. Nevertheless, while the intensity of the decline in house prices in other areas of the country was much higher than in the Eighth District, the pattern of growth and decline has been similar.

The HMC report provides the following snapshot of conditions in the U.S. and in the Eighth District states via:

• Color-coded maps that reflect the number of mortgages considered seriously delinquent (i.e., those that are delinquent 90 days or more, or are in foreclosure) and the respective quarterly percent change in these numbers
  • By county for the U.S.
  • By zip code for each state
• A listing of the top 10 zip codes with mortgages under stress in each Eighth District state
• Historical house price index charts for the U.S. and for each Eighth District state

Please note: While the Eighth District is comprised of the entire state of Arkansas and only parts of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee, analysis is conducted on a statewide basis for each state's respective report.
