The Canadian property-intelligence field

While they verify, the market already moved.

Canada's terminals and report houses are genuinely excellent — each built to tell you, precisely and carefully, what a property is. That precision takes time. And in that time, the market moves. Here's an honest map of who does what — and the one space left open.

Who runs the record

The terminals and the report houses.

No takedowns. We've kept this to the firms that, like us, run a terminal or publish the record — the peers worth knowing precisely.

The piece that completes the picture

They tell you what a property is. We tell you what it's doing.

The field is rich on what a property is — who owns it, what it's worth, what it's recorded as. The open space is what the market is doing right now. That's the piece we add.

01 / SIGNALS

Transaction signals

Dual-listing detection and lifecycle states — relisted, dropped, sold — surface likely transactions before public record.

02 / MOTION

Live market motion

Price-cut prevalence, days-on-market and asking-to-close spreads — the for-sale market read weekly, not quarterly.

03 / DEPTH

History since 2014

A continuous weekly record over a decade deep — every property tracked through its full lifecycle, not a snapshot.

The honest version

We're not here to replace the record. We're here to read its pulse.

Keep your CoStar, your ARGUS, your Teranet pull. They tell you what a property is, and they do it well. Goldthorpe layers the weekly motion and the transaction signals their tools aren't built to carry — so you see the move while it's still a move, not after it's recorded.

Where we fit

Use the others for what a property is. Use Goldthorpe for what it's about to do.
