Prices are based on when an offer is accepted; sales counts are based on when the transaction completes.

Average and median sold prices reflect sales that went under contract (offer accepted) during the month, per MLS® data — this keeps price statistics as fresh as possible. Half Duplex records are included in all-types price averages. Sales counts and the sales volume chart reflect transactions that went firm in the month, which aligns with real estate board published counts. Contracts normally complete about 6-8 weeks after the offer is accepted. Days on market is the median number of days from listing to accepted offer for sales completing in the month. Inventory counts listings on market during the month, and months of inventory is inventory divided by completed sales.

Data is reported in calendar month periods.

Calendar month periods are used because they align with standard real estate board reporting. This ensures that each period covers the same complete month so that a like-for-like comparison can be made.

What does completed-month reporting mean?

Based on historical reporting, it can take up to four weeks or more for transactions to be reported. This means that some home transactions that occurred within this period have yet to be included in this report. Because of this, we only display statistics for fully completed calendar months.
