Housing prices, sales, construction by FSA?

Question

I have a researcher looking for housing prices, sales, and construction data at the FSA level. Is this available?

Answer

I consulted the masterfile metadata for the SHS survey, and the geographic coverage does not include FSA.

I also reviewed other housing surveys, such as New Housing Price Index (NHPI) and Residential Property Values, which only go down to the CMA level. There's also the Royal Lepage House Price Survey, but it does not seem to go down to FSA, and the MLS Real Estate database.
