Cornerstone's Housing Market Statistics Hub
Welcome to Cornerstone's housing market statistics hub. Here, you'll find detailed insights into the real estate trends across our key service regions in Hamilton-Burlington, Mississauga, Norfolk County and Waterloo Region. These interactive charts are updated each month with the most current market information.
The statistics provided are based on information from the ITSO MLS® System of which Cornerstone is a proud founding member. Multiple MLS® Systems operate within Ontario, and while none can be guaranteed to include every property listed or sold within a given area, they effectively illustrate market trends. Cornerstone Association of REALTORS® cautions that these statistics can help identify long-term trends but should not indicate that specific properties have increased or decreased in value. Those requiring specific information on property values should contact a REALTOR®. REALTORS® have their fingers on the pulse of the market and have access to more comprehensive tools and analytics. They know the questions to ask, the areas to probe and what to look for to get a complete picture of the property and community you're considering.

What is the MLS® HPI Tool?
The MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) is the most advanced and accurate tool to gauge a neighbourhood’s home price levels and trends.
Average or median prices can change a lot from one month to the next and paint an inaccurate or even unhelpful picture of price values and trends. The MLS® HPI is based on the value home buyers assign to various housing attributes, which tend to evolve gradually over time. It, therefore, provides an “apples to apples” comparison of home prices across the entire country.
Each month, the MLS® HPI uses more than a decade of MLS® System data and sophisticated statistical models to define a “typical” home based on the features of homes that have been bought and sold. These benchmark homes are tracked across Canadian neighbourhoods and different types of houses.
Use the three tabs below (Performance over time/ % by timeframe/ By timeframe & benchmark) to navigate the different views of the dashboard. Each tab is labelled with a description of the information contained in that view.
