- There are five census metropolitan areas (CMAs) with positive short- and long-term expectations this month, one less than last month. These are the CMAs in the up-up quadrant.
- Most CMAs’ expectations are still in the up quadrant but are negative for the long term, as markets are expected to slow down from the red-hot levels seen during the pandemic.
- The CMAs with the biggest year-over-year percentage decrease in July housing starts were Saskatoon, Moncton, Hamilton, Saguenay, and Kingston.
- Thunder Bay had the largest year-over-year percentage increase in starts last month.
