Canadian housing starts fell 2.4 per cent in September as construction on condos and apartments hit its lowest level in more than two years, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. said Tuesday.

Starts unexpectedly fell to 211,300 units in September, on a seasonally-adjusted annual basis, from 216,600 units in August. Single-house construction rose for the second month in a row while multiple starts hit their lowest point since July, 2004.

Canada's red-hot housing market has cooled, somewhat, as mortgage rates have climbed and house prices have streaked upwards. In August, CMHC predicted the market would soften next year, even though residential construction this year has been stronger than it had anticipated.
