Canadian Single Detached Home Starts Decline 25% In 2023

The latest data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) indicates that Canada saw housing starts decline in 2023, despite mass immigration.

Overall, there was a noticeable decline in the number of new housing projects across urban areas with populations exceeding 10,000. This reduction amounted to a 7% decrease in housing starts, totaling 223,513 units, a drop from the 240,590 units seen in the previous year. The primary factor behind this decrease was a significant 25% fall in the construction of single-detached homes.

However, this trend of decline was not uniformly observed across all regions. In major urban centers like Toronto and Vancouver, the situation was quite different. Toronto witnessed a 5% increase in housing starts, while Vancouver experienced an even more substantial 28% rise. In stark contrast, Montreal’s housing market faced a downturn, with a 37% reduction in housing starts, affecting both single-detached and multi-unit dwellings.

Looking at the broader trend, the six-month average of housing starts in December showed a marginal decrease of 2.1% from November. Yet, on a month-to-month basis, there was an 18% increase in the seasonally adjusted annual rate of total housing starts across Canada in December.
