The latest figures show Canada\u2019s 6-month housing starts trend dipped by about 1% month-over-month in mid-Q3, settling around 244,000 annualized units. The monthly pace held steady near 229,000. In our larger cities, actual starts reached 17,700 in mid-Q3, which is about 2% below last year, bringing the total for the first eight months of this year to 149,500\u2014down about 4%. Even so, homes under construction in centers over 50,000 people only nudged down less than 1% to 371,700 units. There\u2019s still a substantial pipeline, but completions dropped more sharply, down 11% month-over-month to 17,600 units, while new permits not yet started inched up under 1% to 142,400. The national outlook points to housing starts staying higher than we\u2019ve seen in recent years, though the trend is expected to ease as we head toward year-end. I\u2019ll be keeping an eye on how these shifts shape opportunities for buyers and sellers in Calgary, and I look forward to sharing what I learn along the way.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As someone who\u2019s spent over four decades navigating Calgary\u2019s real estate market, I\u2019m always watching the bigger housing trends and how they might impact our local scene.
