Statistics Canada is developing a new quarterly housing market intelligence report that’ll: 

  • aid builders/developers to make better decisions; 
  • raise awareness about the industry; and 
  • help policymakers adapt quickly to changing housing needs. 

 

The quarterly report will focus on data about Canadian cities and include: 

  • city, provincial and national level housing analysis and comparisons; 
  • high-growth neighbourhoods 
  • new housing data – sales, listings, spec homes count, development count; 
  • data linking house prices to permits, starts and completions; 
  • data on the impact of mortgage rates, immigration, population and other factors on the housing market; 
  • lot size, living area; 
  • average prices, prices per sq. ft; and 
  • what’s selling – stacked townhomes, units with four bedrooms or dens.
