london new home starts higher in february

New home starts were up in the London Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) in February according to preliminary figures released today by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). Builders laid foundations for 88 homes compared to 69 in February 2011.

“The greater number of resale homes sold this spring has contributed to stronger demand for new residential construction,” said Margot Stevenson, CMHC's Senior Market Analyst. “The mild winter weather has also been a positive factor for construction.”

New construction for the month included 77 single-detached homes, two semi-detached homes and nine ownership townhomes. For the first two months of 2012 total housing starts totaled 183 units compared to 312 units for the same period last year. For more information, please visit www.cmhc.ca or call 1-800-668-2642.

We would like to acknowledge the Indigenous Peoples in whose traditional territory we work and live: the Anishinabek; the Haudenosaunee; and the Lunaapeew. The three distinct First Nations communities within the Middlesex-London area are: Chippewas of the Thames First Nation; Oneida Nation of the Thames; and Munsee-Delaware Nation. We acknowledge the many longstanding treaty relationships between Indigenous Nations and Canada – including the London Township Purchase of 1796 between the Anishinabek and the Crown. This territory is now home to many First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples.
Each of us must honour these relationships, and we all have a responsibility to reconcile.
