Home construction picks up, driven by buildings, condos, CMHC says
– canadianbusiness.com
Home construction in Canada picked up last month, driven by British Columbia and Alberta, defying expectations that homebuilding activity would cool down.
The seasonally adjusted annual rate of housing starts rose to 222,324 units in July, up from 212,948 in June, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. said Wednesday.
The ramp-up likely reflects strong demand for new housing from the end of last year into the start of this year, TD Bank economist Diana Petramala said, adding that the new construction market tends to lag real estate demand, which has started to fall.
Petramala said regulatory changes over the past year including tougher mortgage qualification rules have prompted a shift for some first-time homebuyers from existing homes to cheaper, newly built dwellings.
“Some of the momentum could potentially carry forward into the second half of the year before new home construction eases along with the existing home market next year,” she said.
Last month, the Canadian Real Estate Association reported that national home sales figures in June posted their largest monthly drop in seven years…
