LETHBRIDGE — Housing starts have just about caught up to last year in Lethbridge, thanks in part to a strong June.
The latest monthly data from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) shows 41 single-family homes were started in the Lethbridge census metropolitan area, up from 33 last year. Fourteen of them were in the surrounding area.
In addition, construction started on 17 multiple-unit homes (all within the city of Lethbridge), up from 8 in 2016, for a total of 58.
That brings the total for the first six months of the year to 303, compared to 307 a year ago. Construction within the city itself accounts for 237 of the total, but a year-over-year comparison is not available.
