How this research is produced

Sources are never blended. CREB® publishes benchmark prices through its MLS® Home Price Index; those appear in the monthly market report and are attributed to CREB®. Our community-level work uses MLS® sales data and reports medians. A benchmark, a median and an average are three different measures and are never used interchangeably.

Sample sizes are published and enforced. A community is excluded from a price comparison rather than shown with a figure drawn from a handful of sales.

Price changes hold property type constant. A community's all-property median can move because the mix of what sold changed. We test for that and report it when it happens instead of presenting it as price growth.
