According to a provincial government release, Alberta is getting shovels in the ground faster and building the homes Albertans need. Year-end data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) reinforces that Alberta continues to show strong success in increasing the supply of homes, which helps stabilize housing costs and improves the housing outlook for Albertans across the province. Last year was reported to be a record-breaking one for homebuilding in the province. Alberta led the country in housing starts per capita in 2024, with the province seeing a historic jump in the number of new homes under construction.
