HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwired - July 9, 2015) - Housing starts in Prince Edward Island's urban areas were trending at 296 units in June compared to 293 in May according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The trend is a six month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR)1 of housing starts.

"Year-to-date housing starts in Charlottetown were on par with those from last year; fewer multiples starts in Summerside drew total housing starts below year-earlier figures," added Teakles.
