More Canadians are choosing shorter-term and variable-rate mortgages. That means more frequent renewals and greater exposure to changing interest rates.

The trade-off? A resilient banking sector.

Headline: Mortgage rates aren't the whole story. More Canadians are choosing shorter-term mortgages, which means interest-rate changes can reach households sooner when it's time to renew. Learn more. A photo of a happy mother and child in their home.

More housing matters. So does the pipeline behind it.

🏗️ 375,469 homes were under construction in June, while approved projects waiting to start construction declined.

What do these trends reveal about future housing supply?

#HousingMarket
Graphic titled "Looking Beyond Housing Starts." The graphic shows that 375,469 homes were under construction in June 2026. It also highlights that completions increased 8.4% month-over-month, while the six-month housing starts trend declined 2.8%. Supporting text explains that although housing starts eased in June, homes already under construction and rising completions provide a broader view of how housing supply is progressing.

Asking rents are declining, vacancies are rising, and some landlords are offering incentives. Yet many renters still struggle to find affordable housing.

Canada's rental market is easing ... but not for everyone.

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.

🔗 cmhcschl.ca/A98150Z6QZQ
Infographic titled "Could a city fee be the reason a new home didn't get built near you?" CMHC tested this using the Housing Development Viability Analyzer. Three scenarios are shown using house icons to represent project viability: Under current development charges, many projects don't move forward because the numbers don't work. Cutting charges by 50% makes 5% more projects viable. Removing charges entirely makes up to 14% more projects viable. Takeaway: The higher the fee, the bigger the impact when reduced.

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. 📊

Infographic titled "April Housing Starts Data Overview" with a red label reading "Housing Starts April 2026." Three upward arrows highlight key statistics: 3.2% increase in the 6-month trend, 17% increase in Monthly SAAR (Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate), and 6% increase in year-to-date actual starts.Photo of Mathieu Laberge, Chief Economist at CMHC, standing with arms crossed and smiling, beside a quote that reads: "April gains in housing starts are mainly driven by multi-unit projects already in the pipeline, though volatility remains high and the outlook is still challenging with uncertainty and higher financing costs weighing on new construction. Building permits signal future activity, while housing starts show where construction has begun; together providing a more complete picture of the housing pipeline."
