A city fee could be costing you $100,000 on a new home.

Our Chief Economist breaks it all down.

Could a city fee be the reason a new home didn't get built near you?

CMHC's new data shows cutting development charges could unlock thousands more homes, but the impact depends entirely on where you live. See which cities have the most to gain.

April #HousingStarts trend rose 3.2%, with SAAR activity up 17% month over month and 6% year to date. Volatility remains high and market headwinds persist, but new building permit + pipeline data now offers a fuller view of builder sentiment. 📊

[CMHC @CMHC_ca]

Canada’s mortgage market is shifting.

2025 = renewals.
2026 = rising risk.

• 42% variable-rate uptake
• Insured lending expanding
• Delinquencies climbing

The renewal peak is fading. The pressure is building.

Does new housing make the rental market more affordable?

New supply ultimately benefits lower income renters — even when built at higher price points.

🚨 New CMHC Insight: Tighter Land-Use Regulations Linked to 14% Jump in Home Prices

Our new analysis shows restrictive regulations don’t just slow housing supply — they directly push prices higher. More evidence that process matters.

Building permits give an early read on market sentiment and what lies ahead for construction.

Permits in big cities are declining, and history shows starts follow. CMHC’s new analysis shows what to expect for 2026 and beyond.

#HousingSupply

[CMHC @CMHC_ca]

March #HousingStarts dipped 2.9%, but actual starts rose 10% y/y—early strength in BC, ON and QC. New data on non-market housing adds a clearer view of affordable supply.

Additional data on building permits show what’s next in the housing pipeline.

[CMHC @CMHC_ca]

Will helping more Canadians buy homes actually make housing more affordable?

Without more supply, prices could go up for everyone. New CMHC modeling shows how demand-side policies can fall short and what it really takes to make them work.

https://t.co/xtR5rQlbVk

[CMHC @CMHC_ca]

Construction is holding steady, but headwinds persist.

📈 February SAAR up 4.5% MoM
📊 Actual starts up 10% YoY
📉 6-month trend essentially flat — but economic uncertainty & high costs keep new supply under pressure.
