Two Canadas, in charts you can touch.

Every chart on this page is a live view of the same feed any Homie can read. Copy the prompt, paste it into Homies (or any AI with web access), and answer four questions — your market, your audience, whether to gate the full report behind a lead-capture form, and whether you want an Instagram carousel or story. It writes a report like this one for Canada, your province, or your board, with these same interactive charts pointed at your market and this month’s real numbers. New to the idea? Start with the guide to AI market reports for realtors — what they are, the free Canadian real estate stats underneath, and how they compare with market report software.

Canadian home sales slipped 0.7 per cent from July on a seasonally adjusted basis and came in 6.9 per cent below August 2025— 37,504 transactions, the fourth consecutive month of what CREA calls “largely unchanged” activity. The national average price was $668,219, up 0.6 per cent year over year and still 19 per cent below the February 2022 peak. New listings rebounded 3.3 per cent as sellers got an early start on the fall market, which nudged the sales-to-new-listings ratio down to 49.1 per cent. Four months of inventory, four months of flat prices, four months of flat sales: the national picture is a market holding its breath while, per CREA’s senior economist, fixed rates have already risen on bond yields and a variable-rate hike is “priced in by markets.”

None of that is the story. The story is that “Canada” has stopped being a useful unit for talking about house prices — and the first two charts show why.

Index every province’s average price to 100 in January 2022 and the country splits cleanly in two. Ontario is at 78 — still 22 per cent below where it started — and British Columbia at 89. Everyone else is above 100: Alberta 118, Manitoba 118, Nova Scotia 120, Saskatchewan 127, New Brunswick 132, Newfoundland 137. The national average sits at 88 only because Ontario is so large. Drag the brush under either chart to zoom into any window.

The year-overlay view puts each year’s sales on the same January-to-December axis. 2026’s spring never got going — the lowest spring peak of the five years — and since May the line has gone sideways rather than following the usual summer decline. That is what “largely unchanged for a fourth consecutive month” looks like. The third chart is the one to watch into the fall: sales plotted against the five-year mortgage rate with the rate axis inverted, so cheaper money plots upward. Sales chased the rate line up in 2020 and down in 2022; if a hike is really priced in, the red line turns down first.

August’s 3.3 per cent rebound in new listings reversed three straight monthly declines, and CREA says it was “most apparent towards the end of the month” — a late Labour Day pulling the fall market forward. Even so, total supply is just under 200,000 homes, in line with the seasonal norm and only 1.4 per cent above a year ago. At 4.8 months of inventory the country is balanced by CREA’s own bands (seller’s market below 3.6, buyer’s above 6.4), and has been for four months.

The MLS® Home Price Index was unchanged from July and down 3.0 per cent from a year ago — the smallest annual decline since October 2025, with the gap narrowing every month since January. The average price, which is mix-sensitive, is faintly positive year over year. Break either measure out by province and the flatness disappears: Alberta is up 3.8 per cent, Ontario down 1.7. The leaderboard ranks every market in CREA’s release by price change; the full set of 104 markets fills in when the complete August data package lands later this week.

Headline figures are from the Canadian Real Estate Association’s August 2026 statistics release (September 15, 2026). CREA’s month-over-month changes are seasonally adjusted; the charts and the feed are actual (not seasonally adjusted) residential figures — the same basis as CREA’s own table of select boards — which is why the feed’s sales-to-new-listings ratio (50.7%) differs slightly from the seasonally adjusted headline (49.1%). Charts are live embeds of the Homies Stats explorer . The August month is loaded from the press release as a preliminary update for the national series, provinces, and the 18 boards CREA reports; the remaining boards, and active listings, update when the full data package is published. Year-over-year comparisons in the charts use figures as first reported; CREA’s headline compares against revised prior-year values. Mortgage and policy rates are Bank of Canada data via the same feed.
