January 2010 - Huge increase in new housing starts

According to the CMHC (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation) 917 new housing units broke ground in January 2010 in the Vancouver Census Metropolitan area which is 50% more than in January 2009. Surrey led with 295 new housing starts, followed by Vancouver with 234 starts. Of the 400 condos started in the Vancouver CMA, 85 are rental designated.

The CMHC spokesperson added that the strong new home construction in January 10 is a continuation of the trend in the latter part of 2009 and is expected to continue in the near future.
