Economic Indicators
Selected U.S. indicators that help provide context for borrowing conditions, housing demand and consumer finances.
Effective Federal Funds Rate
Monthly average of the effective overnight federal funds rate.
U.S. Unemployment Rate
Monthly seasonally adjusted unemployment rate.
Median New Home Sale Price
Quarterly median sales price of new houses sold in the United States.
Why these indicators matter
The federal funds rate influences broad financing conditions. Employment conditions affect household income and demand. Home prices influence affordability and the amount buyers may need to finance.
Use data with calculators
Economic data provides context, but personal decisions depend on your own income, debt, savings, rate quote and goals.
