The fact our total starts are almost on par with Calgary, which has a higher population, is a good sign for us.

As well as SFH, we beat Toronto (and everyone else) on row houses and respectable numbers on apartments too.

This is also good news for continued affordability, which, to me, is the best selling point of Edmonton: affordable but with everything (or almost) you can expect in a big city.

Once again, wtf is going on in Ottawa and Montreal to have such lower numbers.

I'd probably argue a significant chunk of our rowhomes are infills as well, on top of them being built in the suburbs. I'm starting to see infills just pop up everywhere now.

If an older home on a lot is torn down for a new SFH, is that considered a new housing start?

I imagine no new homes are being built in Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto now unless it's just a rebuild.

Those would be, yes, as these numbers are typically based on building/development permits.

Our purpose built rental numbers are surprising, didn't expect them to be more than Calgary.
