The agency said 13 of the Canadian cities it surveyed saw month-to-month price gains. London led the way with a 0.6 per cent increase.

Winnipeg and Toronto/Oshawa saw the largest year-over-year escalation in prices, at 4.1 per cent, the agency said. Fifteen other cities also reported November-over-November price gains.

Canada’s new housing price index rose 0.1 per cent in November. That followed a 0.2 per cent rise in October.
