October 2012 Housing Starts in Canada
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/12 -- Housing starts in Canada were trending at 218,392 units annually in October, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six month moving average of the seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR)(1) of housing starts. The standalone monthly SAAR was 204,107 units in October, down from 223,995 in September.
"The monthly decrease in total housing starts posted in October was mostly due to a decrease in both single and multiple starts in urban centres in Quebec and the Prairies. Multiple starts also declined in many urban centres in Ontario, more than offsetting an increase in such starts in Toronto," said Mathieu Laberge, Deputy Chief Economist at CMHC.
CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next.
The seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts decreased by 10.1 per cent to 182,134 units in October. Urban singles starts decreased by 7.6 per cent in October to 62,402 units, while multiple urban starts decreased by 11.4 per cent to 119,732 units.
October's seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts decreased in all regions in October, declining by 1.5 per cent in British Columbia, 6.4 per cent in Ontario, 12.3 per cent in the Prairies, 16.8 per cent in Atlantic Canada and 16.9 per cent in Quebec.
Rural starts(2) were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 21,973 units in October.
