What is the Case-Shiller Index?

S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices began as a research project in the 1980’s when Karl E. Case and Robert J. Shiller began to construct a methodology to measure housing price movement. They developed the repeat sales pricing technique which measures the movement in price of single-family homes in certain regions. When a specific home is resold, months or years later, the new sale price is matched to the home’s first sale price. The indices are designed to be a reliable and consistent benchmark of housing prices in the United States. Their purpose is to measure the average change in single-family home prices in a particular geographic market.  (SOURCE)

Unfortunately, such an index does not exist here in Canada.
