BC homebuilding is up 10%, but fewer new detached homes are being built. 🏗️
CMHC’s September housing starts (6-month trend):
• BC: 41,959 units, up 10%
• Metro Vancouver: 25,948, up 6%
• Abbotsford–Mission: 1,645, up 7%
Most new supply is condos, townhomes and rentals. Detached starts are down 6% in Vancouver and 16% in Abbotsford–Mission.
What it means: detached homes and land with redevelopment potential could get harder to find.
