That's great. Thanks a lot.

The site you porvided has an inflation calculator, and
assuming I pressed the right buttons, it appears that the 
accumulated effects of inflation from 1992 to 2001 are 
16.87%.

So that means the only cities in Canada ahead of inflation
in terms of their new house prices since 1992 are:
	Calgary                 36.50%     
	Regina                  35.80%     
	Ottawa-Hull             20.70%    
	Saskatoon               20.00%     
	Winnipeg                19.50% 
	Charlottetown           18.70%

The one's that did not make it include all cities in
Ontario (other than Ottawa), BC, Quebec and more.
