CREA MLS HPI, national composite benchmark price

The Canadian Real Estate Association's MLS Home Price Index, national composite benchmark price: the housing side of the record, measuring what a typical home in the tracked markets costs rather than what the average sale happened to fetch in a given month.

Source: CREA MLS Home Price Index (HPI Tool / MLS_HPI_Oct_2026 data file, not seasonally adjusted) | Captured 2026-11-14 | 261 points, 2005-01 to 2026-09. Values are printed exactly as the source publishes them.

The series as a chart

The chart is drawn from the same points printed in full in the record below it: no point is added, averaged or smoothed, and the record remains the table.

Recorded gaps in this series

• Complete for the national composite benchmark price: the downloaded file (Not Seasonally Adjusted (M).xlsx, AGGREGATE sheet, Composite_Benchmark column) runs monthly from 2005-01 to 2026-09 with no missing months, and its 2026-09 value of 651400 matches the September 2026 snapshot already held in price-index.json.
• The MLS HPI composite itself begins in January 2005 (January 2005 = 100 on the companion Composite_HPI column); no earlier national composite history exists to capture.
• The same zip (MLS_HPI_Oct_2026.zip, linked from the CREA HPI Tool page) holds far more than this file extracts: 65 sheets in the monthly not seasonally adjusted workbook alone (the AGGREGATE national sheet plus province and individual board sheets such as GREATER_VANCOUVER, CALGARY, EDMONTON, GREATER_TORONTO, MONTREAL_CMA and HALIFAX_DARTMOUTH), each with Composite, Single Family, One Storey, Two Storey, Townhouse and Apartment index values and benchmark prices, plus a seasonally adjusted monthly workbook and quarterly and annual not seasonally adjusted workbooks. Only the national composite benchmark price series was written here.
• Rights wall for republication, not for capture: the CREA HPI Tool legal terms state MLS HPI content may be downloaded for reference, analysis and reporting of results, but must not be published or displayed in whole or in part without the prior written consent of CREA, with CREA attributed as source in any display.
