Canada Dashboard 2.0 now live

February 15, 2020

Erik Fertsman

Last year we launched our Canada Dashboard so that you could have easy access to some of the latest economic data on Canada. This week we rolled out our next version of the dashboard with a number of improvements. These improvements include better organization and mobile utility, as well as added data sets. The interactive charts are now linked via API to our main database which includes data from a variety of official sources. As always, the charts will be updated regularly as data becomes available. For the foreseeable future, we plan on keeping the dashboard available to you free of charge.

But how can Canada build lots of homes when the increased levels of investments - particularly bank mortgages - that are needed to build more housing have consistently led to higher housing costs?

A disaggregated credit model of mortgage rates: forecasting the price of Canadian real estate loans

By Erik Fertsman • September 15, 2020

Mainstream analysts usually say that interest rates on mortgages and home prices are inversely correlated. When interest rates fall, home prices rise. This relationship has little evidence behind it, unfortunately. So, we took a hard look at how things actually work and found that interest rates on mortgages actually lag mortgage credit growth (and, by extension, home price growth) by about 12 months. Causality is reversed in the sense that credit growth drives credit costs (interest rates). This makes much more sense and allows us to forecast rates on mortgages.
