MLS® Home Price Index

August 2026

What the benchmark is, and why it is the cleaner signal

The average price is the mean of everything that sold, so it moves when the mix of homes changes — a month with more detached sales lifts it even if no individual home got more expensive. The median is the middle sale, which resists outliers but still follows the mix.

The MLS® HPI benchmark instead prices a consistent, typical home for the area and adjusts for its attributes, so a change in the benchmark is closer to a change in price for the same house. That makes its year-over-year figure the most like-for-like price signal on this site — and it is why the benchmark and the average often disagree.

Benchmark against average price

All TRREB areas · 13 months to August 2026

Where these diverge, the gap is mix: the average is being pulled by what sold that month, while the benchmark holds the home constant.
