Teranet Inc. and National Bank announce housing index partnership with Statistics Canada


TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2019 /CNW/ - Teranet Inc. (Teranet) and National Bank of Canada (National Bank) are pleased to announce an agreement with Statistics Canada to build a unique Resale Residential Property Price Index. This new index is part of Statistics Canada's Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) released today in response to the federal government's request to improve access to housing price statistics in Canada. A direct result of the collaborative work between the three organizations, the resale component of the RPPI will produce indices in the house and condominium segments for the following Census Metropolitan Areas: Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria.

As Canada's statistical agency, Statistics Canada has long been a source of timely information on housing.  Teranet and National Bank's work with Statistics Canada is the result of a standard public service procurement process, and stemmed from a Request for Proposal put out in February 2018.
