About
HabiFact is a ledger of verified housing facts for the provinces and territories of Canada. British Columbia (BC), Ontario (ON), and Alberta (AB) are ready; the rest are still being verified. Every entry has a primary source, a verbatim quote in the source language, and a verification date.
What this is not
Section titled “What this is not”- This is information, not advice. The site does not provide investment, mortgage, tax, or legal advice, does not appraise any property, and does not endorse provinces, properties, or professionals.
- We are not a mortgage broker and do not advise on any specific mortgage.
- Provinces are shown in a fixed order (BC, ON, AB). The order is fixed, not ranked.
- HabiFact is not affiliated with any government or financial institution.
Plain-language summaries
Section titled “Plain-language summaries”The English text on this site is our own plain-language summary of each fact — not the legal text. The verbatim quote is always in the source language as published. Before making a decision, check the source or consult a licensed professional.
Sources and licences
Section titled “Sources and licences”We quote short excerpts from official sources (Statistics Canada, CMHC, Government of Canada, King’s Printer of British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta, provincial governments) with a link to the primary source. Each value shows the source and its terms of use. We are not affiliated with any government, do not have their endorsement, and our copies are not official versions. Statistics Canada data is used under the Statistics Canada Open Licence; Ontario and Alberta open-data materials are used under the respective Open Government Licences.
Privacy
Section titled “Privacy”No accounts and no cookies. Only anonymous visit statistics (Cloudflare Web Analytics). If you report an error, we receive only the message text, which is stored in a private admin chat; we do not store your email address or IP address. To change or remove a report, submit another one through the same form.
Artificial intelligence
Section titled “Artificial intelligence”Draft values are prepared by a language model, but it does not publish anything: the quote and figures are verified by code, and sensitive topics are confirmed by a person. More details on the How we verify page.
