  • July Starts

    CMHC said Canada's all-area housing-start SAAR fell 5 percent in July to 229,074 units, while the six-month trend was nearly flat at 247,377. In large centres, actual July starts were 19 percent lower year over year, and Toronto starts decreased 10 percent because of weaker multi-unit starts.

  • Pipeline Gap

    The same release showed approved permits not yet started rising nationally to 141,480 units. That is a useful future-supply marker, but Toronto renters and condo buyers cannot occupy a permitted tower that has not reached financing, site work and construction start.
