TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian housing starts unexpectedly fell in December compared with the previous month as groundbreaking decreased on multiple unit homes, data from the national housing agency showed on Thursday.

The seasonally adjusted annualized rate of housing starts fell 3% to 197,329 units from a revised 204,320 units in November, the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) said. Economists had expected starts to rise to 210,000.
