AR-02 / ARENA PUBLISHED
Housing / Canada
House-price forecasts for Canada and eight metro markets, built on 45 years of Statistics Canada data. Issued monthly, locked at issuance, graded when reality arrives.
WHAT THIS ARENA PREDICTS
For each of eight metropolitan markets, the twelve-month percentage change in the New Housing Price Index, with an 80% interval. One forecast per market per month. Each is hashed and published the second it is written, and graded exactly twelve months later against the first release of the same series — the number the market itself saw, not a revised one.
Constitutional. This block is the same size class as the results panel above and is never collapsed, moved below the fold, or set in a smaller face.
WHAT THIS ARENA CANNOT TELL YOU
L-01
Grades depend on StatCan NHPI revisions; we grade against the T+12-month vintage. A grade stays provisional for 90 days and can move if the series is revised.
L-02
Metro coverage is 8 markets; forecasts outside them are not issued. Nothing here should be read as a national average, a rural signal, or a territorial forecast.
L-03
The model has never forecast through a rate shock larger than 2024, and it under-weighted the Calgary in-migration break of 2025. Its behaviour in a comparable regime is unverified, not merely uncertain.
