Case Schiller Portland Metro Home Price Index: Rate of Increase Varies by Home Price Range.

In addition to the overall market index Case Schiller also published index values by home price range for each market; their most recently non seasonally adjusted index for this data set in Excel is HERE.

I did a quick analysis that shows that 

• The home price index (143.39) for the middle price tier for Portland metro homes ($207,926 - $311,708) is the highest of all price tiers AND has the highest year to year increase (6.5%).
• Homes in the lowest tier (prices less than $207,926) had the largest year to date increase at 10.7%.
• Homes in the highest price tier continue to drag down the overall index with lower year to year (7%) and year to date increases (2.7%).

The table below has the related data: 

Metric	Under $207,926	$207926 - $311,708	(Over $311,708)	Overall Market
Index Value	141.24	143.39	138.49	140.8
YTY Change	10.7%	9.7%	7.0%	8.3%
YTD Change	3.0%	6.5%	2.7%	3.6%
