Understanding this indicator
- What it is
- Each stage of new supply side by side: permits issued, homes started, homes under construction and homes completed.
- How it's measured
- Permits come from Statistics Canada; starts, homes under construction and completions from CMHC. Permits, starts and completions are 12-month totals.
- How to read it
- A healthy pipeline moves units from permits to completions steadily.
- Many permits with few starts can point to financing or cost constraints.
- Limitations
- Statistics Canada and CMHC count slightly different things, so the stages don't reconcile exactly.
