National Bank and Teranet establish a partnership with The Globe and Mail

National Bank and Teranet join forces with The Globe and Mail to launch the House Price Data Centre, an interactive, online tool with exclusive data on the Canadian housing market. This user-friendly interface will be part of a new Real Estate Hub on The Globe's website, designed to help Canadian consumers understand and track home prices over the short and long term.

Using data from the Teranet-National Bank House Price Index™, The Globe's Data Centre will provide:

  • High-quality analysis of the latest housing market trends, interactive graphs and clickable maps
  • National and city data for Canada's 11 largest cities
  • A deep dive into the housing markets of Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Ottawa
    o Neighbourhood search by postal code to see average sales price and units sold
  • Data snapshots designed to be shared on Facebook and Twitter

The Teranet-National Bank House Price Index™ is an independent representation of the rate of change of Canadian single-family home prices. The measurements are based on the property records of public land registries, where sale price is available. The Teranet-National Bank House Price Index™ was originally developed to be a trustworthy benchmark for financial professionals and has evolved to include consumer-use applications.
