Two markets, one country.

TWO-MARKET COMPARISON REPORT FROM LIVE DATA (powered by homiesAI.com). You will
build me (a realtor) a personalized, SEO-optimized housing market report that sets
my market against four benchmark cities, with LIVE EMBEDDED charts, using real
numbers from the Homies Stats feed. Never invent a number — every figure must come
from the feed.

URL BASE — read this first. Everywhere below, {BASE} means:
  https + :// + homiesai.com + /stats   (join the four parts, no spaces)
Spelled out in case a chat app stripped it: homiesai dot com slash stats, over
https. Example: {BASE}/data/manifest.json means the manifest URL on that base.
If anything below looks like a link went missing, rebuild it from {BASE}. Use no
other host.

WHY A COMPARISON AND NOT A SINGLE MARKET. As of September 2026 the Canadian
national average is the midpoint of two markets moving in opposite directions:
Southern Ontario and BC sit well below their January 2022 level while the
Prairies, Quebec and Atlantic Canada sit well above it. A one-market report
hides that. Always place my market against benchmarks.

STEP 1 — ASK ME FIVE QUESTIONS, THEN WAIT. Ask them as one short numbered list,
offer the defaults, and accept "just use the defaults" as a complete answer.

1. HOME MARKETS — which one or two markets is this report about? (Two works
   well when they are a pair my audience already compares: Toronto and
   Hamilton-Burlington, Calgary and Edmonton, Victoria and Greater Vancouver.)
   Default: Toronto plus Hamilton-Burlington.
2. BENCHMARKS — which four cities to measure against? Default: Calgary,
   Edmonton, Halifax-Dartmouth, Winnipeg. Suggest benchmarks that make my
   market look honest, not flattering: at least two from a different region.
3. AUDIENCE — buyers, sellers, investors, move-up families, downsizers, or a
   general database. Default: general. This changes the conclusion of every
   section, not just the closing paragraph.
4. NARRATIVE STANCE — pick one and hold it the whole way through:
   · "Straight read" — what the data says, no angle. (Default.)
   · "Opportunity" — where the mispricing is, for a buyer or investor.
   · "Caution" — what could still go wrong, for someone deciding to wait.
   · "Contrarian" — the consensus take and why the data complicates it.
   Never switch stance mid-report, and never let a stance override a number.
5. BRAND COLOURS — one of:
   · A preset: pal=royal-lepage | remax | century21 | exp | kw | homelife |
     ocean | sunset | mono | office
   · Custom hex: colors=E4002B,1A1A1A,F2A900 (no "#", comma separated, first
     colour is my market's line)
   · Default: the Homies colourway.
   Also ask for my name/brokerage for credit= on every chart. Apply the same
   choice to EVERY chart so the report reads as one piece.

STEP 2 — GET THE DATA. Points are [yyyymm, value] arrays. Try in this order:
1. Your web/URL-fetch tool (NOT code execution — many AI sandboxes block outside
   domains from code; the fetch tool usually works when code can't).
2. A code GET only if your sandbox has open internet access.
3. If neither works, build the {BASE}/api/chart image URLs in STEP 4 anyway —
   the server renders the data into the image, so the charts still work — and
   ask me to paste the headline numbers.
Endpoints (all on {BASE}):
- {BASE}/data/manifest.json — every geography with slug, name, level and latest
  month. RESOLVE EVERY SLUG HERE FIRST. Slugs are not guessable: Vancouver is
  greater-vancouver, national is canada-computed, Burlington is inside
  hamilton-burlington, Montreal is not a board (use the quebec province series).
  If the manifest carries "preliminary": true, the newest month came from CREA's
  press package and only the markets in preliminaryGeographies have it — say
  which month each figure is from rather than implying every market is current.
- {BASE}/data/{slug}.json — series keyed res.act.ap (average price), res.act.us
  (sales), res.act.nl (new listings), res.act.al (active listings),
  res.act.snlr (sales-to-new-listings), res.act.moi (months of inventory).
  "res.act" is residential, actual — NOT seasonally adjusted.
- {BASE}/data/measure/res.act.ap.json — one measure across all 105 markets, for
  rankings.
- {BASE}/data/unit/{slug}.json — property-type detail: det/semi/twn/apt crossed
  with msp (median price), ns (sales), adom (average days on market). 75 boards;
  Toronto is not among them, so use hamilton-burlington or the province for
  type-level detail in the GTA.
- {BASE}/data/macro/all.json — rate-mortgage5y, rate-overnight, cpi-rent,
  unemp-canada, arrears-mortgage, starts-canada.

COMPUTE, for each of the six markets:
- Latest month's average price, sales, new listings, active listings, and the
  year-over-year % for each.
- Sales-to-new-listings and months of inventory, latest month.
- INDEXED TO JANUARY 2022 = 100 (latest ÷ Jan-2022 × 100). This single number
  is the spine of the report — it separates markets that recovered from markets
  that are still repairing, and it is the reason the comparison exists.
- Distance from each market's own peak: find the max of res.act.ap and its date.
- Average days on market now vs a year ago, where the board has unit data.

SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT — the one trap. CREA's press-release headlines are
seasonally adjusted. This feed serves not-seasonally-adjusted series. They are
different numbers for the same month. Use the feed's NSA figures for levels and
year-over-year change; if you quote a month-over-month change from CREA's
release, label it seasonally adjusted. Never compare one basis against the other.

STEP 3 — WRITE THE REPORT (900-1,400 words, SEO-optimized, in my stance):
- H1: "{Market} vs {Benchmarks}: {Month Year} Housing Market Report". Meta
  description under 155 characters with the market, month and one headline stat.
- Open with the comparison, not the nation: the indexed number for my market
  against the four benchmarks, in one sentence a client could repeat.
- PRICE: where my market sits against January 2022, against its own peak, and
  against the benchmarks. Say plainly whether the gap is widening or closing.
- VOLUME: sales year over year for all six. Distinguish "fewer sales because
  nobody is listing" from "fewer sales because nobody is buying" — new listings
  tell you which.
- SUPPLY: active listings and months of inventory. Use CREA's bands — under 3.6
  months is a seller's market, over 6.4 a buyer's, in between balanced — and say
  which band each of the six is in.
- DEMAND: sales-to-new-listings for all six, plus days on market where
  available. This is the leverage section: who has it, and is it moving?
- WHAT IT MEANS FOR MY AUDIENCE: the section that changes with Q3. Buyers want
  negotiating room and risk; sellers want pricing strategy and timing;
  investors want yield, supply pipeline and carrying cost. One honest risk,
  always.
- Close with a 3-question FAQ answered from the data ("Is {market} a buyer's
  market right now?", "Why is {benchmark} up when {market} is down?").

STEP 4 — EMBED THE LIVE CHARTS. NON-NEGOTIABLE:
- NEVER hand-draw a chart — no SVG, no CSS bars, no canvas, no image
  generation. A drawn chart is stale the day it ships and wrong the day after.
- Before publishing, fetch one embed URL and confirm it returns a chart page.
  If a chart cannot be embedded, use the {BASE}/api/chart PNG instead and tell
  me which one and why.
- {SIX} below means my two markets plus the four benchmarks, comma separated,
  slugs from the manifest. {ME} means my primary market's slug.

Interactive embeds — append &embed=1 to every one:
<iframe src="{BASE}/compare?g={SIX}&m=ap&base=202201&embed=1" style="width:100%;height:440px;border:0"></iframe>
<iframe src="{BASE}/yoy?g={SIX}&m=ap&from=202101&s=line&embed=1" style="width:100%;height:440px;border:0"></iframe>
<iframe src="{BASE}/explore?g={SIX}&m=snlr&from=202001&embed=1" style="width:100%;height:440px;border:0"></iframe>
<iframe src="{BASE}/explore?g={SIX}&m=moi&from=202001&embed=1" style="width:100%;height:440px;border:0"></iframe>
<iframe src="{BASE}/explore?g={ME}&m=us,nl&from=201901&embed=1" style="width:100%;height:440px;border:0"></iframe>
<iframe src="{BASE}/overlay?g={ME}&m=us&embed=1" style="width:100%;height:440px;border:0"></iframe>
<iframe src="{BASE}/macro?g={ME}&m=us&x=rate-mortgage5y&inv=1&mode=dual&from=201501&embed=1" style="width:100%;height:440px;border:0"></iframe>
<iframe src="{BASE}/balance?g={ME}&embed=1" style="width:100%;height:440px;border:0"></iframe>
<iframe src="{BASE}/seasonality?g={ME}&m=us&mode=value&embed=1" style="width:100%;height:440px;border:0"></iframe>
<iframe src="{BASE}/leaderboard?m=ap&mode=yoy&prov=1&embed=1" style="width:100%;height:520px;border:0"></iframe>
Property-type detail, where the board has unit data:
<iframe src="{BASE}/types?g={ME}&m=msp&t=det,twn,apt&from=201901&embed=1" style="width:100%;height:440px;border:0"></iframe>

Static images for email and social — same parameters, plus my branding. Append
&credit={my name or brokerage} and either &pal={preset} or &colors={hex,hex} to
EVERY image, exactly as chosen in Q5:
{BASE}/api/chart?view=compare&g={SIX}&m=ap&base=202201&w=1200&h=750&credit=...&pal=...
{BASE}/api/chart?view=yoy&g={SIX}&m=ap&from=202101&w=1200&h=750&credit=...&pal=...
{BASE}/api/chart?g={ME}&m=moi&from=201801&w=1200&h=750&credit=...&pal=...
Add &theme=dark for social; 1080x1080 for square posts. Use format=svg when I
need to edit the vector in Canva or Illustrator.

STEP 5 — DELIVER:
- The finished report: title, meta description, body with the live embeds in
  place, FAQ.
- An email version, 250-400 words, with three subject-line options and preview
  text.
- Three social captions, each leading with a number, under 5 hashtags.
- A one-paragraph "what I'd tell a client this week" summary in my stance.

Then ask me what to do next: publish, send the email, adapt it for another
market pair, or rebuild it next month. Prepare everything for my review. This
prompt authorizes drafting; do not send to my CRM/database, publish a campaign
or message recipients unless I explicitly authorize that action.
