    Frequently asked questions

    We speak English, not Legalese. If something sounds confusing, we’ll break it down so it actually makes sense. Every real estate question deserves a straight answer, so hit Ask Anything and we’ll give you clear guidance without the lawyer dictionary.

    The MLS® HPI Benchmark Prices represent the expected sales price for a typical or “Benchmark” home in a given neighbourhood.

    The MLS® 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.

    It’s a way to measure how busy the real estate market is. Think of it like this: for every 10 homes listed, how many sell? If 2 out of 10 homes sell, the sales-to-active ratio is 20%.

    This number helps show whether it’s a buyer’s market, a seller’s market, or somewhere in between. A high ratio (like 40% or more) usually means homes are selling quickly, and prices might go up. A low ratio (under 12%) means homes are sitting on the market longer, and buyers may have more power to negotiate.

    In short, this little number gives you a big clue about how hot (or not) the market is.
