Methodology

 

The RPS-Wahi Home Price Index is the most comprehensive source for house price data in Canada and includes the median house price dollar values and extensive additional data by property type from a national to the local level.

 

Long-Term Price Trends


 

The RPS-Wahi House Price Index is based on the latest monthly actual home values in 1,000 towns and cities across the country.

 

The index shows how property values have changed over time, relative to a base period (Jan. 2005 = 100).

An HPI value of 300 means property values have tripled (on a smoothed, adjusted basis) since 2005.h
The HPI does not indicate the actual price of a property. It demonstrates how prices have moved relative to the base period.

 

Market Momentum

 

A rising index indicates an upward price trend. A falling index suggests price softening or correction. Since the HPI smooths noise and filters out outliers, it gives a more stable, reliable picture of pricing trends than monthly medians.e
The HPI is based on an up-to-six-month rolling average, so it does not reflect short-term volatility, such as one-off surges in prices from luxury sales.
