Housing starts bounce back in October

Housing construction activity rebounded strongly in October after two consecutive months of declines, almost solely because of a huge gain in the multi-family segment, according to new data from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.
Total local starts jumped 30.8 per cent to 884 units, the highest level of new home construction seen for the month of October in more than 20 years, the report said. The increase was mainly because of a 54.4-per-cent increase in multiple-unit housing, to 585 units, which in turn was driven by sharp spikes for row housing and apartment construction.
Starts for the apartment category nearly doubled to 301 units from 166, while row housing starts rose 72.5 per cent to 264 units, more than offsetting a decline in semi-detached housing construction.
Meanwhile, the single-family housing sector was essentially flat in October with a 0.7-per-cent increase from a year earlier, to 299 units.
"Despite the increasing price for single-detached homes, solid employment conditions keep supporting this type of construction," said CMHC senior market analyst Sandra Perez Torres, in a statement.
Among the various regions in the Ottawa area, the biggest jump was seen for Nepean, where starts increased by nearly five-fold to 218 units. The report noted that 42 per cent of total row housing construction activity and 25 per cent of total single-detached homes started during the month occurred in Nepean.
The old municipality of Ottawa, which includes Rockcliffe Park and Vanier, accounted for more than one-third of housing construction activity, with starts rising 51.2 per cent to 313 units, most of which were condominium apartment units. Kanata also had strong growth of 80 per cent, to 90 starts.
Several east-end regions reported lower residential construction activity, with Gloucester reporting the largest percentage drop of 46.5 per cent, to 76 units. Cumberland also had a 37.7-per-cent decline in starts, to 76 units.
Goulbourn was the only other area to post a decrease of 38.2 per cent, to 34 units.
