The gauge is derived from Case-Shiller Indexes (CSIs(TM)), which are based upon repeat sales. These indexes are widely accepted as the most meaningful indicators of market-specific home-price changes through time. FLS measures home-price changes by aggregate market change and by low-, middle- and high-price tiers within each market. Price-tier thresholds are market-specific and are calibrated to capture one-third of each market pertier. Additional information regarding these and related measures is available on the Internet at www.fiservlendingsolutions.com. SOURCE: Fiserv Lending Solutions Inc.
