FX.co ★ Canada's New Housing Price Index Slightly Improves in September Despite Negative Trend

In an update released on October 24, 2025, Canada's New Housing Price Index (NHPI) showed a slight improvement for the month of September. The index, which measures changes in the selling prices of newly constructed residential properties, registered a decrease of 0.2%. This marks an improvement from the previous month, August 2025, where the index dropped by 0.3%.

While the index remains in negative territory, the less pronounced decline in September indicates some stabilization in the housing market amidst prolonged pressures. The NHPI measures month-over-month variations, with the September figures reflecting the changes compared to August 2025.

This shift is noteworthy as it points towards a modest reduction in the rate of decline, shedding a glimmer of hope for stakeholders concerned about the continued downturn in Canada's housing prices. Analysts suggest continued monitoring, as the economic landscape shifts and the real estate market adjusts to broader economic conditions. The latest figures are part of ongoing efforts to understand market volatility and the real estate sector's dynamics.
