Canada’s six-month trend in housing starts fell 2.8% in June 2026 to 248,123 units, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The seasonally adjusted annual rate was 238,971 units, down 6% from May.
The national slowdown was uneven. Actual housing starts in Toronto rose 25% compared with June last year, while Montreal increased 10%. Vancouver moved in the opposite direction, with actual starts falling 35%.
The figures underline how local supply conditions, construction costs and project timing can produce sharply different results across major Canadian markets.
