flag Canada’s housing starts rose 6% in 2025, but affordability remains at risk without 430,000+ annual builds.

flag Canada’s housing supply rose 6% in 2025, reaching 259,000 starts, driven by record rental construction and increased missing middle housing, particularly in Calgary, Edmonton, and Montreal. flag Rental starts nearly doubled the 10-year average, contributing to higher vacancy rates and slower rent growth. flag While completions hit records in Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton, condo presales collapsed and unsold inventory surged, especially in Toronto, Vancouver, and Edmonton. flag Homeownership starts, particularly for family-sized homes, remained below historical averages in several major cities. flag CMHC warned that without building 430,000 to 480,000 new units annually, affordability levels seen in 2019 may not be restored by 2035.
