Short Supply: Building new homes takes longer, costs more, due to world trade issues

Disruptions to the global supply chain, triggered and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, are creating new challenges for Canadians who are looking to buy new homes.

For some, this has meant some families are seeing big delays at being able to move into their new homes. The Canadian Home Builders Association says this type of lengthy hold-up is becoming more common from coast to coast to coast.
