📅 2 months ago

Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) has reported a 4.5% rise in the annual pace of housing starts in February, with notable increases in various regions. Despite some fluctuations, the overall trend remains relatively steady, although uncertainties and costs are expected to impact future housing start rates.

The increase in housing starts indicates a positive trend in the residential construction sector in Canada. The rise in construction activities in British Columbia and Ontario has offset declines in Toronto, showcasing regional variations in the market. However, concerns over weak population growth, high costs, and unsold inventories may influence future construction trends.
