I got to catch up with Bob Dorsey, Chief Data and Analytics Officer [2]of FNC [3] which he is a co-founder. Bob is a principal force behind their US residential housing price index [4] that combines public record data and data collected from appraisal reports submitted to lenders.
The index takes a different approach than the primary indices already in use, namely Case Shiller [5], FHFA [6] and NAR Existing Home Sales [7]. It’s an intriguing approach to refine the accuracy of measuring housing markets.
