Understanding this indicator
- What it is
- Homes that have been started but not yet completed at the end of the month, from CMHC.
- How it's measured
- CMHC adds new starts and subtracts completions each month.
- How to read it
- A large pipeline means more completions are on the way.
- A pipeline that keeps growing while completions stay flat can signal construction delays.
- Limitations
- Projects can be paused or cancelled after they start.
