Teranet – National Bank House Price IndexTM (HPI):
- The 15 new indices will be available alongside the current 11 cities that form the Teranet – National Bank
Composite 11 House Price IndexTM .
- The Composite 11 index, and the approximately 500 commercially available sub-indices, are widely recognized
domestically and internationally as the benchmark for measuring changes in Canadian house prices, frequently quoted by
financial institutions, regulatory and government agencies and national business media.
- The Teranet-National Bank House Price IndexTM is an independent representation of the rate of change of
Canadian single-family house prices. The measurements are based on the property records of public land registries, where sales
price is available. It was originally developed to be a trustworthy benchmark for financial professionals and has since evolved
to include consumer-use applications.
"We are very pleased with the sustained momentum and growth of the HPI since we first launched in 2008. With the
continued focus on house price data, reliable and timely information is critical for decision makers across Canada," said Peter Vukanovich, SVP Commercial Solutions at Teranet.
"The addition of the new indices along with the relaunch of our website reinforces our commitment to providing the broadest and
most accurate representation of house price data in the country".
"We are very excited to announce the addition of the fifteen new CMA's to the Teranet-National Bank House Price Index
and the enhancement to our website," said Darren Ablett, Managing Director, Mortgage Derivatives
at National Bank. "We continue to remain committed to providing our customers with greater insight and analytics to the Canadian
Housing and Mortgage Market".
