Canadian Housing Price Charts by Brian Ripley www.chpc.biz

  
 

Welcome to Brian Ripley's Canadian Housing Price Charts Blog for Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal comparing Canadian Real Estate House Prices and Market Values against a Backdrop of Gold Bullion, Oil, CPI, Interest Rates, the Canadian Yield Curve and the S&P TSX Housing, Financial Services, Energy and Gold indices. Also available are the current Canadian census population data, Stats Can employment data, mortgage affordability tables and a quick and easy spreadsheet for discovering real estate value. I update the commentary, the monthly price change summary, the housing and financial charts, the percentage price change scorecard and the Plunge-O-Meter, usually by the 2nd week of the month which is when the Canadian real estate boards generally have their data published from the previous month.

The data above are from the Real Estate Board's websites and refer to RESIDENTIAL UNITS ONLY. The different Real Estate Boards do not publish a glossary of shared terminology nor do they report their data in a consistent manner. Inventory levels are difficult to monitor, some metrics appear one month but not the next, sometimes only new listings are tabulated, and sometimes total active listings are reported. The reporting boards like to spin their numbers and use adjectives like "balanced" when describing ballooning inventory and sagging sales, or they don't report current conditions fully but rely on references to past glories or year to date measures which smooth out near term trend changes.

CMHC is no better at producing clear transparent publication of data. All of these (non-public) organizations represent interests that have reasons to cloak data when it suits an agenda.  When monthly data are unavailable to draw a complete chart, I have used an average calculation between the months preceding and following the missing data point.

The Ottawa Board does not publish sales or inventory details but leaves that up to CMHC. And CMHC is at least one month behind, and inconsistent in their reporting as well. On the Major Canadian Cities Chart I have used Ottawa combined residential prices because detached single family data are not published monthly.

Montreal data on the Major Canadian Cities Chart changes from average to median price reporting at March 2007. CMHC stopped reporting average prices for Montreal as of February 2009.

Inventory Note: When available I use "Active Listings at End of Month" rather than "New Listings Added". Again, there is no consistency in reporting inventory from the various real estate boards or CMHC.
