How useful is an ‘Average Canadian Home Price' metric?

Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) is developing a new measure of the health of the Canadian real estate market.

While perusing Vancouver real estate news on Google this morning it struck me how utterly useless and misleading an ‘average' Canadian home price number actually is. In a country the size of ours with one end a hop skip and jump from Europe and the other end almost touching Russia, is it useful in any way to talk about national average home prices? I don't think it is.

To illustrate my point, take this article from the Vancouver Sun, dated today, Dec 7, 2010.  The opening paragraph of the article reads

"OTTAWA — Canadian home prices should continue to rise next year, despite sales levels flattening in most major markets, said Re/Max in a report released Tuesday. The real estate firm said home prices should, on average, rise three per cent to $350,000 by the end of 2011, while existing-home sales will remain flat. It forecast that home sales this year would be down five per cent to 441,000, with prices growing seven per cent to $340,000."

So what happened and how is this information at all useful? It's not. Creating an average using an average house price of $780,000 in Vancouver's west side and combing that with the average house price in Labrador just doesn't make sense. Yes, I'm over-simplifying but you get my point.

It appears that CREA is creating a solution to this problem by coming up with a new way to measure the health of Canada's housing market. CREA is looking to create an index that adjusts for bias and skewing in places like Vancouver and metro Toronto where prices are high. CREA is partnering with the Altus group out of Toronto to develop a model similar to the Standard and Poors Case-Schiller national home price index. This index measures US housing market activity month to month.

The closest Canadian alternative to this model is the Teranet National Bank Index but this index currently only considers six cities.

Lets look for something a little more accurate in the near future.

Levy Metric $79.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In mathematics, the Levy metric is a metric on the space of cumulative distribution functions of onedimensional random variables. It is a special case of the LevyProkhorov metric, and is named after the French mathematician Paul Pierre Levy. In probability theory and statistics, the cumulative distribution function (CDF), or just distribution function, completely describes the probability distribution of a realvalued random variable X. Cumulative distribution functions are also used to specify the distribution of multivariate random variables. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

The Ambient Metric $47.32 This book develops and applies a theory of the ambient metric in conformal geometry. This is a Lorentz metric in "n"+"2" dimensions that encodes a conformal class of metrics in "n" dimensions. The ambient metric has an alternate incarnation as the Poincar metric, a metric in "n"+"1" dimensions having the conformal manifold as its conformal infinity. In this realization, the construction has played a central role in the AdS/CFT correspondence in physics. The existence and uniqueness of the ambient metric at the formal power series level is treated in detail. This includes the derivation of the ambient obstruction tensor and an explicit analysis of the special cases of conformally flat and conformally Einstein spaces. Poincar metrics are introduced and shown to be equivalent to the ambient formulation. Self-dual Poincar metrics in four dimensions are considered as a special case, leading to a formal power series proof of LeBrun's collar neighborhood theorem proved originally using twistor methods. Conformal curvature tensors are introduced and their fundamental properties are established. A jet isomorphism theorem is established for conformal geometry, resulting in a representation of the space of jets of conformal structures at a point in terms of conformal curvature tensors. The book concludes with a construction and characterization of scalar conformal invariants in terms of ambient curvature, applying results in parabolic invariant theory.

Kerr Metric $58.94 In general relativity, the Kerr metric (or Kerr vacuum) describes the geometry of spacetime around a rotating massive body. According to this metric, such rotating bodies should exhibit frame dragging, an unusual prediction of general relativity; measurement of this frame dragging effect was a major goal of the Gravity Probe B experiment. Roughly speaking, this effect predicts that objects coming close to a rotating mass will be entrained to participate in its rotation, not because of any applied force or torque that can be felt, but rather because the curvature of spacetime associated with rotating bodies. At close enough distances, all objects even light itself must rotate with the body; the region where this holds is called the ergosphere. The Kerr metric is often used to describe rotating black holes, which exhibit even more exotic phenomena. Such black holes have two surfaces where the metric appears to have a singularity; the size and shape of these surfaces depends on the black holes mass and angular momentum. The outer surface encloses the ergosphere and has a shape similar to a flattened sphere.

Metric Currents and Differentiable Structures. $115.71 We investigate Ambrosio and Kirchheims theory of currents in metric measure spaces, assuming the spaces admit generalized differentiation theorems as studied by Cheeger and Keith. In this case, we show that metric currents of absolutely continuous mass can be realized by integration against vectorvalued measures. We characterize currents in Carnot groups, provided again that their masses are absolutely continuous with respect to the underlying Haar measure. We also prove an equivalence between two definitions of quasiconformality for maps between metric measure spaces, using methods motivated by the study of metric currents.

A Metric Splitting of Alexandrov Spaces $117.9 Alexandrov spaces are metric generalizations of Riemannian manifolds with sectional curvature bounds. The boundary of an Alexandrov space M may decompose into several boundary strata. If M has positive curvature, it is quite well understood how the number of boundary strata determines the homeomorphism type of M as a stratified space. This book deals with the case that M has nonnegative curvature. The author Andreas Worner begins with an introduction to Alexandrov geometry, which requires only some familiarity with Riemannian geometry. Then boundary strata are investigated more closely. After all prerequisites are given, a splitting theorem is proved as the main result in this book. More precisely, let M be compact and of dimension n. Assume that M has k+1 boundary strata such that their common intersection is empty, but any intersection of k strata is nonempty. Then M is isometric to a metric product of Alexandrov spaces S and D, where S has dimension nk and is isometric to each intersection of k boundary strata. It is remarkable that the theorem provides in general nonflat factors.

Metric Pattern Cutting $40.99 Metric Pattern Cutting was first published in 1975 to provide a straightforward introductory book for students beginning courses in flat pattern cutting. The fourth edition continues to offer an introduction to the basic principles of pattern cutting, with a range of good basic blocks and examples of their application to garments. However, the great expansion of casual wear, cut in jersey or stretch fabrics, has led to the growth of 'flat cutting' with no darting to create the shape and this edition devotes a whole section to this type of cutting. The sections on computer-aided design and grading have been updated. The size charts of body measurements have been revised, reflecting the changing shape of women's bodies.
