Canadian housing starts hit a five-year high in 2025, but still fall short of needs for affordability.
Canadian housing starts rose 5.6% in 2025 to 259,028 units, the fifth-highest annual total on record, driven by strong rental and mid-density housing construction, particularly in Calgary, Edmonton, and Montreal.
December saw a 11% monthly surge in the seasonally adjusted annual rate to 282,439 units, surpassing forecasts, though the six-month trend showed a slight decline.
Despite the gains, CMHC emphasized the pace remains far below the 430,000 to 480,000 annual units needed to restore housing affordability by 2035.
Economic uncertainty, weak pre-sales, and rising vacancies may slow activity in 2026.
