    CMHC housing starts, seasonally adjusted annual rates, quarterly

    Quarterly housing starts from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation as published by Statistics Canada (table 34-10-0140-01, 'Total units', seasonally adjusted at annual rates): the number of dwelling units started, for Canada, the 10 provinces and 34 census metropolitan areas. Values are published in thousands of units (kept verbatim — the unit is documented on the column, multiply by 1,000 for unit counts). Coverage 1990-Q1 to the present for Canada, the provinces and most CMAs; genuine upstream gaps are kept missing, never zero-filled (six CMAs start 2007-Q1, Abbotsford-Mission and Kingston start 2014-Q1, and the Ottawa-Gatineau Quebec part is missing its three latest quarters).

    New Housing Price Index, total (house and land), monthly

    Monthly New Housing Price Index (table 18-10-0205-01, headline 'Total (house and land)' series) from Statistics Canada: contractors' selling prices for new residential houses, specifications held constant between periods, for Canada and 27 census metropolitan areas. Index base December 2016 = 100, not seasonally adjusted. Coverage 1981-01 to the present for most geographies (Charlottetown from 1995-01; Guelph, Kelowna, Oshawa, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières and the Ottawa-Gatineau Quebec part from 2016-12 — genuine upstream gaps kept missing). Caveats: contractors' selling prices only — the index does not track the resale market; the latest month is occasionally revised.
