Additional Data Products
- Zillow Home Value Forecast (ZHVF): The ZHVF is the one-year forecast of the ZHVI. Our forecast methodology is methodology post.
- Zillow creates our negative equity data using our own data in conjunction with data received through our partnership with TransUnion, a leading credit bureau. We match estimated home values against actual outstanding home-related debt amounts provided by TransUnion. To read more about how we calculate our negative equity metrics, please see our here.
- Cash Buyers: The share of homes in a given area purchased without financing/in cash. To read about how we calculate our cash buyer data, please see our research brief.
- Mortgage Affordability, Rental Affordability, Price-to-Income Ratio, Historical ZHVI, Historical ZHVI and Houshold Income are calculated as a part of Zillow’s quarterly Affordability Indices. To calculate mortgage affordability, we first calculate the mortgage payment for the median-valued home in a metropolitan area by using the metro-level Zillow Home Value Index for a given quarter and the 30-year fixed mortgage interest rate during that time period, provided by the Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey (based on a 20 percent down payment). Then, we consider what portion of the monthly median household income (U.S. Census) goes toward this monthly mortgage payment. Median household income is available with a lag. For quarters where median income is not available from the U.S. Census Bureau, we calculate future quarters of median household income by estimating it using the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Employment Cost Index. The affordability forecast is calculated similarly to the current affordability index but uses the one year Zillow Home Value Forecast instead of the current Zillow Home Value Index and a specified interest rate in lieu of PMMS. It also assumes a 20 percent down payment. We calculate rent affordability similarly to mortgage affordability; however we use the Zillow Rent Index, which tracks the monthly median rent in particular geographical regions, to capture rental prices. Rents are chained back in time by using U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey data from 2006 to the start of the Zillow Rent Index, and Decennial Census for all other years.
