Data for the New Condominium Apartment Price Index (NCAPI) are now available from the first quarter of 2017 up to and including the first quarter of 2022. Until February 2022, the NCAPI was published as a component of the Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) and covered only six census metropolitan areas (CMAs): Calgary, Montréal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, and Victoria.
