Every row is indexed to the last month complete before the first day in office ("from" marks a start that had to move because that period had no data, or because the period cut it); the province is measured over the same months. Levels are per cent changes, rates are differences in %; "per year" compounds levels and divides rates. Tenures with under 12 months, or under three observations, are left out. index, December 2016 = 100 · Statistics Canada, New Housing Price Index (table 18-10-0205), house and land, new homes only, metropolitan area · metropolitan area data · as of Sep 2026.
