## How to read this measure

Beginning in December 2016, several changes have been made to the New Housing Price Index (NHPI). The census metropolitan areas (CMAs) of Kelowna, Guelph, Trois-Rivières and Sherbrooke are included in the NHPI basket. Separate indexes are published for the census metropolitan areas (CMAs) of Toronto, Oshawa, Ottawa-Gatineau (Ontario part), Ottawa-Gatineau (Quebec part) and Greater Sudbury. The New Housing Price Index no longer includes Thunder Bay.

## How this answer was calculated

The headline compares the first and last observations shown. Overall change is the last index value minus the first and is reported in index points; relative change is (last ÷ first − 1) × 100. Intermediate observations remain visible in the chart and exact values. This is descriptive and does not identify causes.
