Description:
In Budget 2017, Statistics Canada received almost $40 million over five years to develop a new Canadian Housing Statistics Framework, in part to investigate the role of foreign homebuyers in the Canadian housing market and to understand the characteristics of residential properties and their owners that address affordability issues. As of its next data release on December 11, the Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP) will include information about all residential properties in Nova Scotia, Ontario, and British Columbia, with property characteristics, like average assessment value, property type, and construction period. As was originally intended, the database also identifies whether or not property owners are residents of Canada. Over the next few years, the CHSP will expand to include new information about residential properties and their owners, with the intent that by 2022, the CHSP will provide a complete database of all residential properties in Canada.
