Volatility clustering, positive risk-return relationships, and leverage effects are empirically shown to exist in the majority of provincial housing markets of Canada. These volatility behaviors, which reflect regional idiosyncrasies, are further found to differ across provinces. More densely populated provinces exhibit stronger volatility clustering of house prices. The existence of these volatility patterns similar to stock indices has important implications ranging from proper portfolio management to government policy.
