In 2010, starts will increase to approximately 164,900 units.  The strong pace of resales reflects, in part, activity that was delayed in the previous two quarters of 2009 and is likely not to be sustained. MLS® resales will be about 441,300 units for 2009, up from 433,990 units in 2008.

For several years I have been producing a real estate index. It started effective 1 January 2004 and tracked prices monthly in accordance with an index. Everything was set at baseline 100 on the first of January 2004.

The reason was largely to provide at least four consecutive years of numbers for the purposes of comparison.

The four year moving average is the standard for comparative purposes in the mutual fund industry, so that’s why I selected the starting date.

However, that was 65 months ago. It’s now time to revamp the index and make it a little shorter in terms of the time period. So, the new staring date is 1 January 2005. That will mean that as of the end of May 2009, we are looking at the last 53 months. There’s no magic in the starting date. It could be anytime.
Here is the monthly progression over the time period. This particular index shows the average price for single family homes as measured at the end of each month by the Toronto Real Estate Board.

The indexed price now stands at 122.4261. That’s an increase of 22.4261 in four years and five months (53 months). The increase is 0.4231 monthly, or 5.0776 annually, as non-compounded, simple interest.

You may recall that I have frequently referred to the fact that property doubles in value every 20 years.
