New Condominium Apartment Price Index, first quarter 2026

The New Condominium Apartment Price Index (NCAPI) is a quarterly series that measures changes over time in the developers' selling prices of units in newly built apartment-style condominiums, where detailed specifications pertaining to each unit remain comparable between two consecutive periods.

The NCAPI is computed using a unit-value approach, wherein the price of a unit is standardized by its square footage to give a price per square foot. Quality adjustments are made prior to calculating these unit prices in order to produce a constant-quality index.

The NCAPI is available for Halifax, Montréal, Québec, Ottawa–Gatineau (Ontario part), Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Victoria, as well as for the composite of these nine census metropolitan areas (CMAs).

The NCAPI has a one-quarter revision period and is not seasonally adjusted.
