Housing starts for January 2025

The Canadian housing market continues to evolve, with recent data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) highlighting key trends.

In January 2025, the six-month trend in housing starts declined by 2.5% to 236,892 units, yet the total monthly seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of housing starts increased by 3% compared to December. This shift demonstrates a complex market where demand for housing persists, but supply faces fluctuations due to economic and policy changes.

What This Means for Homebuyers

Despite the market's evolving nature, purchasing a home remains a strong investment opportunity. Housing starts in urban centres increased by 7% year-over-year, with multi-unit projects driving much of the growth, particularly in Quebec and British Columbia. However, Toronto saw a decline of 41% in housing starts, primarily due to fewer multi-unit developments. These shifts create both opportunities and challenges for buyers navigating today’s real estate landscape.
