Cmhc Unoccupied Inventory

Brand-new housing units sitting unoccupied are a recurring sales event for a specific set of vendors: - Cleaners (pre-occupancy deep clean) - Appliance retailers (developer kits or staging packages) - Furniture rental + staging companies (show suites) - Utility-setup / internet-installer services - Property managers offering lease-up services - Security install (alarm + smart-lock pre-occupancy) - Window covering installers StatCan publishes the count of newly-completed unoccupied units by CMA and unit type each month with a ~2-month lag. When the unoccupied count rises, the vendor opportunity rises proportionally.

Same as above plus: - Real-estate analysts and investors (supply pressure indicator) - Banking + lending (CRE / construction-loan underwriting context) - Trade journalists

This is a STATISTICAL count, not a list of buildings. StatCan tells you "Calgary CMA had 2,177 unoccupied newly-completed units in March 2026" — they do NOT tell you which buildings. Position as market intelligence + sizing tool. Pair with our permits products (active_fitout, owner_builder_hitlist) for the named-building layer.
