Chart of the Week
Chart of the Week: A narrowing (but still wide) AB-CAN housing price gap
Canadian housing prices have undergone a massive correction since 2022.
Using the MLS composite benchmark, prices are 21% below peak levels from February 2022—just before the Bank of Canada started hiking its policy rate.
The correction has been particularly pronounced in Toronto, with benchmark prices now sitting 27% below their peak.
In Alberta, prices peaked later—in January 2025. Yet, they are only 3% below this level.
The price gap between the Alberta and Canada benchmark has narrowed to $143K (it peaked at $368K). That’s still a pretty big gap. Edmonton, in particular, is one the most affordable major housing markets in Canada.
