Case-Shiller Home Price Index (YoY): Release Dates, Results & History
Case-Shiller Home Price Index (YoY) last printed 2.1 on Tue, Aug 25, 2026 against a 1.7 consensus forecast and a 1.6 prior, a +1 standard-deviation surprise. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.
Case-Shiller is the benchmark home price read: a 20-city repeat-sales composite quoted year over year, the number housing headlines get written from. It is a three-month moving average landing on a two-month lag, so it confirms trend rather than breaking news. What matters for rates is whether home price momentum is reaccelerating while shelter CPI is still trying to cool.

How it moves Treasuries
Not a same-day mover; the trend feeds the shelter inflation debate. Reacceleration argues shelter disinflation stalls, which leans bearish duration; steady cooling supports the bond bid. See it scored live on the Helious desk, or read how the standard-deviation surprise is computed.
