West Virginia's FHFA all-transactions House Price Index runs from 1975 through 2025. The state-level HPI, rebased to 100 in 2000, stood at 201.8 at the latest reading. Cumulative nominal appreciation since 2000: +101.8%.
The 2007–2011 housing crisis cut the West Virginia HPI by 7.8% peak-to-trough — from 134.1 in 2007 to 123.6 in 2012. The U.S. national HPI fell roughly 21% over the same window, so West Virginia's drawdown was milder than the national average.
The pandemic-era surge brought West Virginia's HPI from 140.7 in 2019 to 201.8 in 2025 — a +43.4% cumulative gain in 6 years, running near the national pace.
West Virginia sits in the South census region of the United States. Long-run state-level home-price appreciation reflects regional employment patterns, in-migration flows, and supply constraints. State-level FHFA series can mask significant intra-state divergence — see the linked metro pages below for sub-state breakdowns where available.
West Virginia's metropolitan areas are not yet individually covered by the Housing Almanac. Metro-level FHFA data does exist for many smaller MSAs in this state — see the full metro index.

Methodology
The FHFA House Price Index is a weighted, repeat-sales index that measures average price changes in repeat sales or refinancings on the same single-family properties. The all-transactions index incorporates both purchase mortgages and refinance appraisals; the index is calibrated to the South census region and rebased to 100 in the year 2000.
