9月与去年9月同期比,均价高了快1.6万($351,585 - $335,623),去年可是交易火爆哦。
说降,最多是今年8月份有点小低谷而已,9月反弹
When you look at the number, you must understand the method used. MLS should provde a detailed specificaton.
(1) If more new and expensive house sold this month than last
month, then 均价 will be higher for this month. This explane why the 均价 most time is up for long term, because more new expense house enter market.
(2) sampling: this paper only for the house sold from MLS, not include house from any other channel, such as grapvine,
Question: what is the percentage of those houses? logically house sold in MLS should be higher (5% agent fee) Did MLS do data adjust ?
(3) recently 3 month only very good house can be sold, but the most of the house are stuck in the mls, so the price did not down a lot (for those good house),
The true method is look at same type, same house, and most the report from the agents using this method showed that house price has decreased since May, (including Ottawa).

Do you know how the statistics Canada do a new house price survey? pick a same builder to report the price only for same house for several years.
Do you know how statistics Canada do labour force survey (monthly unemployment rate)? a 100 page book to descrbe the method, Do you know why in the Sept. the new job create 25000 (forget right number), but unemployment rate increase from 7.3 to 7.4?
The data from MLS is just for the fun, a simple math calcucation, not acurate. you can only trust the data published by a professional neutral agent, not from mls, a business agent.
That is why your feeling is totally different from most the people in cfc.
