Trends and Comparisons
After bottoming out in 2012, US house prices grew at a steady pace up to 2020 before accelerating from summer 2020 to summer 2022. In recent months, US house prices are declining at a slower pace. Canadian urban house price growth (measured by the Teranet-National Bank House Price Index) grew more rapidly starting in 2016 and accelerated again in 2020. However, in recent months, house price inflation in Canada has cooled more rapidly than in the US. Canada's 11-city composite house prices declined 7.0% year-over-year in March 2023.
After a long period of slow growth, house prices in Halifax started to accelerate from 2019 until May 2022. Halifax year-over-year resale house prices declined 5.3% in March 2023.
