Case-Shiller Home Prices
S&P Cotality Case-Shiller U.S. National Home Price Index
The number, plainly.
The S&P Case-Shiller national home price index, the standard measure of what U.S. houses are worth.
Higher, lower, and what each means.
Rising means household wealth and collateral are growing; falling erodes both and tends to pull spending down with it. It reports with a two-month lag.
A reading is not a verdict. The Scan phase of Woodring’s Loop collects the signal; the Story phase asks what futures it is consistent with, and only the Stake phase turns that into a decision. This page does the first part.
The line in your 2027 plan.
Tests: the consumer-wealth assumption, and the collateral value under any real-estate-backed line.
Write the assumption down, name the reading that would break it, and put a date on when it has to be argued again. That is the 18-Month Sunset applied to one line of a budget. The Last Annual Planshows what this season’s moves have already done to the common ones.
