AEI Housing Market Indicators (HMI) is a set of metrics that provide accurate and timely information about the real estate market. It includes metrics such as mortgage risk/leverage, first-time buyer volume and risk, home price appreciation trends, home sales, new and existing sales, inventory, and more. The HMI uses various data sets, including HMDA, public record data, the National Mortgage Market Risk Index, CoreLogic's LLMA and Black Knight's McDash, Fannie Mae's loan performance data and Freddie Mac's loan level data, FHA snapshot data, and existing home sales and unique listings data from Zillow. The HMI also provides detailed methods after the "Remaining Briefing Date" slide. The HMI is a comprehensive analysis of the housing market and the boom/bust cycle, and it provides the deepest and most accurate key housing data and trend resources.
