Red Deer April home starts almost same as last year

May 8, 2017 | 9:55 AM

RED DEER- CMHC is out with housing start numbers for Red Deer in April.

Work began on 11 single family homes, the same as in April of 2016.

There were 9 multiple starts, two fewer than a year ago.

So far this year there have been 72 home starts in Red Deer.

That is 133 fewer than at this time last year.

Fewer multiple home starts in 2017 is the main reason.
