Competition Bureau (Canada 2014) — TRREB MLS "much more detailed than… REALTOR.ca," holds previous prices, comparables, time-on-market

Claim. The federal Competition Bureau itself described the TRREB / Toronto MLS as containing previous listing and sale prices, historical prices for comparable properties, and time-on-market — substantially deeper than REALTOR.ca.

Quote.

"The Toronto MLS system contains data about previous listing and sale prices, historical prices for comparable properties in the area, and the amount of time a property has [been on the market]." "[The MLS] is much more detailed than what is available on public sites, such as REALTOR.ca."

Source. Competition Bureau release (canada.ca), 2014 SCC-related communications, accessed 2026-06-21.

Confidence. Verified. Federal regulator primary statement.

Caveats. Bureau's framing was strategic — it was litigating against TREB. Statement is factually uncontroversial (REALTOR.ca does not show sold/historical) but the rhetorical framing was adversarial.

Implication / use. The cleanest single-source for "the MLS exposes far more than REALTOR.ca." Use as the affirmative-depth anchor.
