I agree with you. The folks at the Journal say they would have used another index but this is the best they found that broke it down on a state-by-state basis.

In my opinion the IAS360 House Price Index is the leading house price index.
http://www.iasreo.com/ias36...

It is a comprehensive housing index tracking monthly change in the median sales price of detached single-family residences across the U.S. The index, based on all arms-length transactions, tracks data at a “neighborhood” level, which is then rolled up to report on the changes in 360 counties, nine census divisions, four regions, and the nation overall. The IAS360 House Price Index is delivered on a monthly basis.
