-2.1% change in Chico-area home prices over the year to 2026 Q2. 364 index level (1995 Q1 = 100).
The Federal Housing Finance Agency's all-transactions house price index for the Chico metro area (all of Butte County). It tracks the same houses' prices over time, so a change in the mix of homes sold does not move it.
