A total of 15,453 hous-
ing units were started in
Metropolitan Vancouver
during 1996, which was
an increase of three per-
cent over the level start-
ed in 1995 (14,992
units), according to fig-
ures released by Canada
Mortgage and Housing
Corporation (CMHC).
However, the figures show
that while starts of multiple
unit dwellings declined by one
percent, single family housing
starts rose 12%.
“The small decline in con-
dominium starts is due mainly
‘to the large supply of unsold
units which has caused some
builders to hold off from start-
ing new projects. Conversely,
the supply of unsold single
family homes was low enough
to prompt a flurry of new con-
struction.” said CMHC mar-
ket analyst Don Renaud.
’. “Some municipalities great-
ly outperformed the Metro
- area as a whole, with Surrey,
Richmond and the North
Shore municipalities all show-
ing large increases in the level
of housing starts.”
