The existing market benefited from the national homeownership proâ€" grams established in 1992. Although this will remain favorable, the low level of activity at the beginning of 1993 will pull down the annual total. The outlook for 1994 is positive with an increase of about 5% in existing home sales. Average resale prices will remain fairâ€" ly stable. The only province to exceed an increase of 4% this year will be British Columbia where a strong market will push the average price up by more than 10%. For 1994, expectations are for averâ€" Construction of singleâ€"detached dwellings is forecast to increase nearly 7% to 99,300 units this year and another 12% in 1994. High apartment vacancy rates and reduced social housing units will result in a slight drop in multiple unit construction to 72,800 units this year. A rebound of approximately 9% is expected for 1994 due to private market units. "As well, the forecast reflects the weakness suffered by new and resale markets at the beginning of the year and the impact of reduced commitments for social housing units," Proulx added. "After a slow start in 1993, home conâ€" struction is expected to get a boost from the stronger economy expected later this year and into 1994. The market will also remain affordable and continue to benefit from the two federally sponsored homeâ€" ownership programs, and strong populaâ€" tion growth," explained Gilles Proulx, chief economist at CMHC‘s Market Analysis Centre.

However, if space is severeâ€" ly restricted in your garage, consider hanging pegboards or installing overhead storage units. Home construction is expected to rise 2.3% this year to 172,100 units, accordâ€" ing to a report released by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The agency‘s second quarter National Housing Outlook also forecasts a further rise of 10.6% to 190,400 units for 1994. During 1994, all provinces are expectâ€" ed to see higher home construction activâ€" ity with Ontario and Quebec recording the largest increases as their manufacturâ€" ing sectors improve.
