Some sidebar updates (the stock market is much more . . . interesting.)


Home starts down substantially from even last year:

According to data released today by CMHC, July starts in Calgary were down -43.6% from the previous year.

Mike has his usual updates again for the first portion of August. As Winsor_Pilates pointed out earlier, 2011 is clearly better than 2010 for what it is worth - as it appears that it could be just the 2nd worst in a decade for sales:

The good: SFH sales for the first week of August were 22% higher than last year.
The bad: Other than 2010, it was the slowest August start in a decade.
