About
This dataset focuses on key macroeconomic factors influencing the U.S. housing market. It has been curated from data collected from FRED, drawing inspiration from detailed research on real estate market macroeconomics. The current release primarily includes annual macroeconomic indicators, with future updates planned to introduce additional macroeconomic data (quarterly and monthly frequencies) and microeconomic factors such such as house type, age, and specific location details. It aims to provide insights into both supply and demand dynamics within the housing market.
Columns
- Date: The annual period for which the data is recorded, ranging from 1975 to 2021.
- House_Price_Index: An indicator of house price changes, based on an index where 1980 is the base period. Values range from approximately 61.1 to 523.

Distribution
The dataset is provided as a CSV file, specifically "Annual_Macroeconomic_Factors.csv", which is approximately 3.88 kB in size. It contains 9 columns and 47 valid records, covering annual data points. Future iterations are expected to include data at quarterly and monthly frequencies.
Usage
This dataset is suitable for a variety of analytical tasks:
- Performing statistical analysis to identify significant features influencing house prices.
- Determining the quantitative impact of these features on the house price index, ideally using percentage changes for improved analysis.
- Future applications include performing multivariate regression to predict house prices, especially once microeconomic features are incorporated.
Coverage
The dataset primarily focuses on the United States. It covers a time range from 1st January 1975 to 1st January 2021, providing annual data. The initial release concentrates on macroeconomic indicators; a later phase will expand to include microeconomic details such as specific house attributes (type, age, size), facilities, and regional variations.
