Vancouver Housing-Related Statistics

This post is intended to summarise data sources that can be used to analyse the metropolitan Vancouver housing market. Many of these data sources can be used for other housing markets too. Unfortunately there is no one good source of data, however the Sauder School of Business has summarised much of the key historical data.
