New Supply
+ Housing starts are trending close to (higher) household formations. No sign of overbuilding
− Homebuilders challenged to keep up with condo demand in the GVA and GTA, partly due to zoning restrictions and approval delays. Leads to higher prices and diminished affordability. Ontario Government proposals could reduce development charges and approval times, speeding up supply
+ While condo units under construction are near record highs in Vancouver and Toronto, most are sold and are needed to meet household formation. Very lean standing inventory
