***How the Ottawa Real Estate Board produces its monthly activities reports has been fundamentally changed to bring
it in-line with the Canadian Real Estate Association's HPI Index. As such we now show statistics for Single Family
Homes, Town-Homes, and Apartment style dwellings without breaking them apart into freehold or condo
ownership.
