      What is MLSยฎ HPI benchmark price?

      The MLSยฎ HPI Benchmark Prices represent the expected sales price for a typical or โ€œBenchmarkโ€ home in a given neighbourhood.

      The MLSยฎ HPI considers what averages and medians do not: lot size, age, number of rooms, etc. The most commonly traded set of these attributes describes the composite of the typical or benchmark property type in a given area. Prices paid for homes with these attributes determine benchmark home prices.

      What does sales to active listings ratio mean?

      The sales-to-active listings ratio measures supply and demand by comparing the total supply of homes for sale to sales during the month.

      The terms buyers’ markets, sellers’ markets, and balanced markets describe the state of the real estate market in terms of the pressure it puts on home prices. A buyers’ market occurs when the sales-to-active listings ratio falls below 12%, indicating that more homes are available than buyers are looking for. On the other hand, a sellers’ market occurs when this ratio exceeds 20% for a sustained period, indicating more buyers than homes available. Finally, a balanced market occurs when the ratio falls between these two values, indicating that the market is relatively stable and has a roughly equal number of homes and buyers.
