Statistics Canada says the price of new homes jumped half a per cent in August, the biggest one-month increase since May 2017.

A new home under construction in North Vancouver, B.C., Tuesday, June 12, 2018. THE CANADIAN PRESS Jonathan HaywardOTTAWA -- Prices of new homes jumped half a per cent in August, the biggest one-month increase since May 2017,The rising prices stem both from increased demand from homebuyers and higher building costs, according to the index, which scores 27 cities based on how their prices compare to December 2016.

Canada is seeing a lumber shortage as more people look to renovate, and sawmills are producing less amid staffing measures to stop the spread of COVID-19. Earlier this summer, builders reported increased costs from pandemic-related delays. Oshawa, Ont., and Quebec City saw the biggest jump, with price increases of nearly two per cent between July and August. Halifax has also been on a tear, up 1.6 per cent in August -- the eighth consecutive monthly increase.
