## City market context

From the Shawinigan market article, 22 September 2026:

Shawinigan recorded 479 housing starts in 2025, nearly double the 241 started in 2024, with 81% of the new construction focused on apartment and other multi-unit homes. This surge in multi-unit starts signals a significant shift in the local supply pipeline toward rental product, even as national financing pressures continue to weigh on broader affordability. Shawinigan's 2025 housing starts surged to 479 units, a 98.8% increase from 241 in 2024, with 81% of those starts being apartment and other multi-unit homes. This indicates a sharp shift toward rental-oriented supply in the local construction pipeline, which may influence future rental availability but does not directly measure current owner-occupied price dynamics.
