Why Canadian Homeowners Aren’t Selling

Blogs / / / , , , , , ,

Why Canadian Homeowners Aren’t Selling There hasn’t been the usual rush of vendors at Canada’s popular Spring market thus far. Investors may have a greater issue than slow sales, BMO Capital Markets said. They point to many causes but ultimately conclude there is no incentive to sell. Less than a year after the Canadian real estate market started falling, the government is implementing a series of stimulus measures. Homeowners in Canada aren’t rushing to put their properties on the market Most Canadian homeowners wait until the spring market to put their home up for sale, but activity has been modest thus far. Toronto (-44%) and Vancouver (-34%), two market leaders, decreased in new listings in March. Although data from other areas has yet to be reported, brokers from throughout the nation say the data from the middle of the month will reveal that sellers were limited in all markets. Toronto may have a greater problem than slow sales, according to BMO economist Robert Kavcic. Investors, he said, should be aware that last month was the region’s slowest for new listings since 2001. Following are some of his observations that might explain the slowdown: They are not obligated to sell in such a poor market. This is not a recession, with its accompanying layoffs and forced home sales, but rather a correction in asset prices. As a result, most homeowners in today’s market aren’t under significant payment pressure. As a result of OSFI’s buyer stress testing, no transactions were ever forced. People are remaining put because of the high price of relocating or trade. The rental sector provides solid returns for investors. There must be a reason to buy or sell an asset All valid arguments, incentives, in particular, seem to be at the heart of most. Asset holders in any given market will do so for as long as they see a benefit in doing so. Would you part with a mystical piece of paper that guaranteed you $20,000 per month? Very likely not. You’ll probably attempt to use the worth of the paper to get even more “magic” paper. Several financiers are buying homes with negative cash flow. This occurs when the speculator/landlord must supplement the tenant’s rent in order to meet the property’s carrying expenses. In this case, investors still made money despite a small inconvenience by increasing rents. Holding back causes a severe scarcity in the market, which in turn drives up the price. As prices rise, there is less of a surplus to store, which causes supplies to become even more limited. While prices are dropping, an unexpected influx of stock is common. The motivation to avoid having your gains wiped away lies in the fact that you don’t earn any money until you sell. The cheaper pricing made possible by the larger inventory encourages even more buying. Major trend shifts are more likely to occur with a financialized asset when there is momentum in either way. Most people treat real estate as if it were an investment vehicle, analyzing market forces like supply and demand. There are x persons in need of a home, thus they will place bids on y properties. Investments don’t function that way; rather, their value is determined by how much cash they can be converted into. Due to investors seeking returns through asset inflation, there will never be enough “affordable” homes built. House prices tend to fall as interest rates rise because buyers can’t take advantage of as much debt. In times of crisis, central banks are expected to step in as a “lender of last resort.” Governments shouldn’t offer economic stimulus just because they can, but rather when there has been a sustained shortage of investment. Since the 2008 financial crisis, that is not how things have worked. As expected, rising interest rates stifled lending and drove down housing prices. Nevertheless, Canada lacks the stomach for tough love less than a year later. As a financial liquidity crisis bolstered moral hazard by suggesting credit stimulus was on the horizon, the market is now salivating. The Federal government has also recently increased subsidized demand while also opening the market to international investment only days after deciding it was essential to limit such activity. The message to potential investors is clear: Canada is essentially a house-trading hub. In other words, the motivation to hang onto your inventory is larger than any correction factor at this time since it couldn’t endure a complete year without providing stimulation. Why would anybody sell before your government, which is basically an army of real estate speculators, buys up all the available properties? They are incentivised to artificially inflate the asset in which they have a financial stake.

Toronto Real Estate Correction Pauses, Prices Upto $27k

Toronto Real Estate Correction Pauses, Prices Upto $27k Is the Greater Toronto real estate market overpriced? The composite benchmark, or average house, had a price increase in March, according to statistics from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB). Despite the uptick, home sales have been dismal, and that isn’t expected to change anytime soon, according to industry analysts. For a second consecutive month, though, purchasers drove prices significantly higher. Home values in the Greater Toronto Area increased by $27,000 in only one month A year after interest rate rises, property prices in the Greater Toronto Area have surged. In March, the TRREB standard surged 2.5% (+$27,200) to $1,118,500. Toronto’s benchmark also increased, reaching $1.101 million (a gain of 2.2%, or +$24,100) from the previous month. The BoC’s annual inflation objective is 2%, therefore, this month’s rise was higher than that. Real estate prices in the Greater Toronto Area may have reached bottom Real estate prices in the Greater Toronto Area are still falling, but they may be bottoming out. Prices in TRREB have decreased by 16.2% (-$216,200) and in the City of Toronto by 13.1% (-$167,500) during the last year. But, the worst of the last year’s decline is over, and prices have risen by around 1 point relative to each benchmark. There is no sign of a rebound in the Greater Toronto Area’s housing market There was no increase in house sales to blame for the price increase. March existing home sales in the Greater Toronto Area dropped 36.5% to 6,896 units. That’s down considerably from the previous year and the lowest level seen in at least the past five years. There won’t be a dramatic shift in sales, according to industry experts. According to National Bank of Canada analyst Daren King, “despite these early indications of stabilization, sales remain significantly below their historical norm, having plummeted by 49.8 percent from their previous high in February 2022.” (NBF). Nevertheless, “…the possibility of a rebound in the housing market remains modest since we estimate the Bank of Canada to hold its policy rate at the present restrictive level for most of 2023,” they write. So, in the future months, sales should continue to be below their long-term average. The Supply of Preexisting Properties Declines Reduced stock levels may be attributed to retailers responding to improved credit availability. According to King, March’s drop in new listings followed a 24% drop in February. As a result, the number of active listings (as opposed to the total number of listings) has dropped by 21%. According to King, “as a consequence, market conditions in Toronto are somewhat tighter than the historical norm,” as measured by the active-listings-to-sales ratio.The Canadian real estate market, which is driven by moral hazard, has come to believe that a poor economy is beneficial to property values. Although King may be correct that sales will be flat for most of the year, investors are looking forward to lenient loan terms as a result of the worldwide financial crisis. The current narrative is that the state’s attempts to foster low-cost development will lead to a spike in property prices. Whether or whether they are incorrect is unclear at this time.

Canadian real estate prices rise for the first time in almost a year

Blogs / / / , , , ,

The fundamentals of the underutilised housing tax The real estate market in Canada has been experiencing a precipitous decline; could this trend soon reverse? According to the latest figures from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), the average price of a home across the country rose in February. Since the beginning of the rate increases almost a year ago, the benchmark price of the national composite has not increased. While a single price hike cannot be considered indicative of a rising trend, it may indicate that buyers believe monetary policy will no longer affect prices. A $7,000 increase in the price of Canadian real estate Last month, real estate prices in Canada reversed their downward trend and rose for the first time in nearly a year. In February, the overall average increased by 1.0%, or $7,100, to $715,400. Despite the increase, prices are still 15.8 percent (-$133,900) lower than they were during the same month in 2017. It’s hard to miss the absence of price increases for homes over the past 11 months. A record 12-month decline in annual growth was recorded in 2018 Those who only looked at the annual growth rate probably didn’t notice the shift because of the base effect skew. The 12-month movement of the benchmark dropped by 3 points in February compared to the previous month. A month of price increases wasn’t enough to match the enormous increase seen the year before. Even accounting for inflation, this resulted in the steepest decline in annual growth rate in history. Rising House Prices in Canada As of this February, the average price drop for a home that was on the market in March of 2022 has been 16.9 percent, or -$145,600. The record decline came to an end in February thanks to a rise of $7,100. Keep in mind that one month’s data does not constitute a trend, and neither do price changes. Nevertheless, buyers who have been on the fence might want to take note of a reversal in the trend. This development is being driven by a shift in buyer attitudes, not by changes in supply. Perhaps there is a dearth of stock? Well, not exactly; restrictions were eased the previous month. The prefered measure of inventory absorption in the industry, the Sales to New Listings Ratio (SNLR), dropped to 56.7% in February, down from 57.2% in January and down 20.2% from February of last year. This quotient is priced reasonably given the level of demand, and thus falls within the “balanced” range of the market. The pressure was eased because sales dropped much more rapidly than inventory. Is it shortage of supplies? If not, what else could be driving up prices? A shift in opinion is cited as the reason for the recent success in Toronto. The “pause” in interest rates announced by the Bank of Canada (BoC) in January was interpreted as the market’s recognition of the interest rate’s peak. The Governor’s explanation, in which high levels of consumer debt played a role, carried more weight because debt levels don’t drop like a rock. When they admitted they were struggling, the market took that as a sign of weakness. This view is likely to harden in the wake of the current bank run crisis in the United States. While there is still the possibility that low rates will stimulate demand and, in turn, inflation. Even though no one expected double-digit inflation in the early 1980s, it was sparked in part by an early relaxation of policy.

Would the GTA see a slowdown in rising prices this spring?

Blogs / / / , , , , , ,

Federal Ontario gives an investment of $259M for each GM for Oshawa A “slightly more balanced market” is likely to reach the GTA this summertime, as per new research, after months of constantly increasing property prices.Over the winter, two main themes have dominated the Canadian real estate market: the lowest recorded inventory as well as steadily rising prices. For a point this winter, active listings were at their lowest levels in more than two decades, resulting in a very highly competitive environment. In February, the average price of a property in Toronto jumped 27.7% year on year and, despite a 77% month-over-month increase in availability. The market has indeed benefited from historically low-interest rates. The low cost of borrowing has contributed to price increases that have lasted all winter. Nonetheless, as evidenced by the supply pattern in February, Canada appears to be on its way to a little more balanced market. According to the statistics from the previous month, the sales to new listings ratio (SNLR) was 64 percent, down 9 % month over month, indicating that the market will be a little more buyer-friendly in the approaching spring. Price escalations will certainly be slowed, but just not necessarily reversed, as the market becomes more balanced. By the summertime, prices are expected to have risen by more than 4% . Research predicts that the average price of a property in the GTA will approach $1,390,124 in June 2022, up 4.16 % and $26,194.20, based on TRREB’s 10-year historical information. The total number of transactions is expected to reach 13,638 this month, up 22.8 % from June of the previous year. Several sites have examined sales and pricing for the months of February through June from 2011 until 2021 to arrive at these forecasts. For every year, the percent difference between as well as sales volumes had been computed. These averages have been then used to forecast June 2022 average prices as well as sales numbers using pricing and sales data. By aggregating the percent difference between the top five as well as the bottom five years and applying it to the June 2022 data, a lower and higher range was also produced. At the extreme end of the spectrum, prices are expected to rise 0.21% to $1,337,294 while sales fall 15.3% to 11,538. On the top end, prices are expected to rise 8.12% to $1,442,955, while sales are expected to rise 13.3% to 15,739. It’s worth noting that these patterns and projections are substantially influenced by the April 2017 market correction, when prices decreased by about 20% over a few months as a result of the Ontario Fair Housing Plans’ activation. What does this entail for both purchasers and sellers of real estate? While housing prices will continue to rise, they will decrease from their present fast rate as we enter the Spring market time, according to the estimates. The average price of a home in the Greater Toronto Area increased by 7% in February, from $1,242,793 to $1,334,544. The move toward a more balanced market, coupled with improved inventory, could bring some relief to purchasers who have been worn down by a difficult winter. One of the most famous realtor, Claudio Castro, showcases: “A lot of what happened in the market over the winter can be attributed to buyers knowing that our era of historically-low interest rates was coming to a close. And, as the Bank of Canada recently announced, overnight lending rates have been increased by 25 basis points. So what we’ll see in the next few months is people acting according to that rate hike. A lot of that demand in the last few months has been driven by locking in interest rates. While we won’t see a huge jump in new listings overnight, and we’re still in a seller’s market, we are starting to see some inventory drip through, which should provide relief for buyers who have found themselves a little tired due to the record low stock and high prices throughout the winter. We’re still a long way away from a buyer’s market, but they’re beginning to see some more leverage as we head into more balanced conditions.” TRREB’s original projection of a 12% price rise in the GTA for the year has been already overtaken by the actual outcome of 15% during the first two months of the year. Considering rising rates, pricing uncertainty might be a major factor heading into the Spring market, however, the figures indicate that rates will continue to expand in the months to come, albeit at a slower rate. In our projections for the housing market in 2022, we identified growing property prices as a crucial driver, as well as the potential impact of increased interest rates. “As mentioned in our earlier predictions for this year, supply is definitely a key to the real estate market story for 2022,” said Lauren Haw. “As supply has started to open up in February, we are starting to see a little relief for buyers in terms of opportunity and availability leading to more balanced conditions versus the intense seller’s advantage we’ve been facing. Price relief however is unlikely, and we are expecting to see continued increases in the single digits into the Spring market across property types.” If you’re thinking about purchasing a house this spring, the first thing you should do is schedule a complimentary buyer’s consultation. There are experts who will guide you through the home-buying process and offer suggestions for finding the ideal house for you based on your preferences and budget. Related posts.

High mortgage rates to overwhelm Canadian housing

Blogs / / / , , , , , ,

High mortgage rates to overwhelm Canadian housing Canada and The real estate Industry have always walked hand in hand and soared high profits when it came to output. An all-time high housing market burns red with ultimately no sign of cooling down. From 2021 to February 2022 the real estate market in Canada bagged a solid profit because of the purchase of around roughly 552,000 homes. Despite such an increase and heavy profit rate, the real estate industry of Canada is worried about the future market rate of housing in Canada. It has become an ironic situation, with the government promising to double the housing production and cutting the costs to make housing affordable through the release of the fiscal budget meanwhile the market and mortgage rates are hitting an all-time high and are expected to escalate more during near summers. Such a condition really tells that there will not only be a shortage of housing possibilities but also warns about the phase where housing will be available for none. Price hike The end of 2021 concluded around a 19 percent rise in the prices above the borrowing capacity of a median- Canadian household. Such a rate is expected to rise to a 30 percent or more in the near future making housing in Canada a dream far-fetched. The reason for such a hike in pricing is mere because the supply is always low but the demand keeps increasing in the country. Low bank interest rates are just another crackle in the fire that will keep increasing the demand and the mortgage rates along with it. Rising Mortgage Rates The Government of Canada 5 Year Bond closed at the most elevated level in a decade nowadays. Five Year yields are critical to a genuine domain, affecting one of the key contract rates. As a result, Canadians ought to anticipate paying the most elevated contract intrigued in a decade — and these rates are fair getting begun. Bond yields impact the mortgage as well as the interest debt in the real estate industry. The hot red pricing of the 5-year bond yield has become the reason for worry in the estate market because such a bond yield directs the 5 years fixed mortgage. It has been a record, that the Canadian 5-year bond yield has not taken this big a leap since April 2011. Due to such conditions, the Canadian 5-year mortgage rates are also at an all-time high resulting in a 17 percent drop in the buyer estimate. The five-year fixed mortgage was relatively the preferred plan for buyers until a year before but now the buyers will seek new and variable buying options with different ranges of the mortgage. This leaves a gap in the market contributing to higher levels of inflation. Recently the bank hiked 0.5 percent of the interest rates which will invariably result in nothing since the demand soars up but the supply to suffice higher demand is not nearly abundant. A lot of buyers are now indifferent to the price hike since the interest rates are lower even than the pre-pandemic rates. The real estate market will be in a slump as the properties are decreasing and the number of buyers running to buy the estate is high. With this there is the expectation of a solid hike in interest rate which is instigating the buyers to buy in today, colling down an all-time hot-selling real estate market. This would not only result in higher prices and lower demands in the future but also a scarcity of property until the government’s housing plan comes to the rescue in real-time. But is the Government’s housing plan a tangible asset, well the economists say otherwise. An entirely new perspective While the distress of the real estate market is evident Canada’s president Christopher Alexander feels a cooling down of the market won’t happen. In an interview when asked about the rising prices and mortgage rates the Canadian president was heard saying “It will take some froth out, which I think we would all enjoy. But I think the market will adjust demand is still incredibly strong and Canadians really believe in the value of homeownership. So I think that will still continue to see people wanting to buy, just might take them a little bit longer than they had hoped.” Conclusion The fate of housing in Canada is dismal from some perspectives while ambitious from others, the future will only hold the decision of the winning perspective.

10 million homes required in Ontario in next 10 years

Blogs / / / , , , , , ,

10 million homes required in Ontario in next 10 years Given Ontario’s solid populace development, one strategy think tank appraises that the territory will require almost 1,000,000 new abodes throughout the following decade. As indicated by the Ontario Ministry of Finance, the Smart Prosperity Institute and the Ontario Home Builders Association showed up at the close to million home figure in the wake of inspecting the number of homes and what sorts of homes would be expected to address the issues of the area’s normal 2.27 million extra inhabitants over the course of the following decade. As per the examination, 195,000 of the 910,000 units for new families, to a great extent for couples needing to have youngsters, will be in elevated structure condos, with the other 715,000 living in any remaining sorts of lodging. As indicated by the examination, 910,000 homes will be required for new families, 65,000 units will address current market supply holes, and 25,000 units will act as a cushion for any unanticipated extra populace extension during this time span. “Building 1,000,000 new houses in the following decade is difficult for Ontario,” said Mike Moffatt, ranking executive of strategy and advancement at the Smart Prosperity Institute. “In any case, the award is huge: keeping a sufficient inventory of top-caliber, reasonable lodging while likewise producing monetary turn of events and empowering environment activity.” If this doesn’t occur, Ontario will not be able to draw in and keep the ability it expects to contend in the worldwide economy.” Supply limitations in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) pushed up property costs pointedly, bringing about an 18.3% year-over-year expansion in normal selling costs in September land information. As indicated by information given Tuesday by the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRRB), the typical expense of a property is currently $1,136,280. The board encouraged all degrees of government to address the lodging supply emergency, which they accept is at a “basic point.” While there have never been additional lodging units under development in Canada throughout the course of recent months, as per an examination delivered toward the end of last month by RBC Economics, these advances were recognizably ailing in urban communities like Toronto. Lodging begins in the city expanded by just 1.4 percent (or 500 units) from 2015 to 2019. When contrasted with the rate set somewhere in the range of 2015 and 2019, this misses the mark concerning the public dwelling building development of 26%. As per the review, rising lodging costs are making various youthful families drive until they qualify. 60,000 people left the City of Toronto and Peel Region for different areas between July 2019 and July 2020. “Ontario’s real estate market is a piece like a brutal round of a game of seat juggling,” said Mike Collins-Williams, CEO of the West End Home Builders’ Association. All these factors have made it difficult for the residents to cope with the changes smoothly but steps have been taken by adequate authorities to make sure the transition goes smoothly and people do not feel discomfort. “An ever-increasing number of individuals, especially youthful families searching for space to develop, are leaving more costly urban areas and dissipating across the territory looking for lodging.” “In people group across Ontario, we really want seriously lodging supply and choices. Provided that metropolitan chambers endorse the proper scope of lodging choices in their region can the 1,000,000 new homes required throughout the following ten years to answer and help youthful families be assembled.” Related posts.

Highest Inflation in Canada since MC Hammer’s 2 Legit 2 Quit release Households in Canada are currently facing the highest level of inflation seen in a whole generation. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for the month of April was just released by Statistics Canada (Stats Can). The agency places the recent acceleration, which sent growth to the highest level since the early 1990s, on the shoulders of the need for food and shelter. Although there are those who are predicting that growth has reached its peak, leading analysts on Wall Street do not see this happening in the upcoming report. The inflation rate in Canada has reached 6.8 percent, marking its highest level since 1991. The annual rate of inflation in Canada went up once more, although the rate of increase was lower than in recent months. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) grew at an annual rate of 6.8 percent in April, up just 0.1 points from the previous month. It had the highest read count ever recorded, dating back to September 1991. To put it another way, if you are under the age of 30, you have never witnessed how your cost of living has increased. Inflation in Canada was Driven by the Cost of Food and Shelter During the Past Month According to Stat Can, the majority of the most recent increase can be attributed to increases in the cost of food and housing. Food prices rose by 9.7 percent in April, marking the period since September 1981 during which they have increased at the fastest rate. According to the agency, this marked the fifth consecutive month in which the food component scored more than 5 points. As a result of disruptions in the supply chain, including restrictions on exports, it is not likely to drop anytime soon. The majority of Canadians are aware that the cost of housing is going up, but the increase in CPI is not due to the reason you might think it is. The agency reported that the annual rate of inflation for housing costs reached its highest level since 1983 in the month of April, reaching 7.4 percent. The majority of the increases can be attributed to higher fuel costs, such as those for heating and cooling. The costs of home replacement for homeowners are also climbing at a lofty rate of 13.0 percent, which is a proxy for new homes. “The prior boom in home prices is now aggressively working its way into CPI, with new home prices and “other owned accommodation expenses” (mostly real estate fees) the two single biggest drivers last month,” said Douglas Porter, Chief Economist at BMO. The Next Inflation Report Is Expected to Show Rapid Acceleration In April, the annual growth rate only increased by 0.1 points, which is a tenth of the increase in CPI that was seen in March. Although this may point to a moderation in future expansion, the consensus on Bay Street this morning is not to that effect. BMO Capital Markets issued a warning to its clients that the relatively slow month was just a temporary blip. According to Porter’s explanation, “… this is the relative calm before another downpour in next month’s report, as gasoline prices are tracking a double-digit increase for May alone.” Additionally, the National Bank of Canada (NBF) issued a warning that the tight labour market poses a threat to inflation. According to Matthieu Arseneau, the deputy chief economist at the National Bank of Canada (NBF), “In an environment where the labor market is extremely tight with the unemployment rate at a record low, workers are well-positioned to ask for compensation, which should translate into relatively high inflation in services,” In addition, “For these reasons, the Central Bank must continue its fast-paced process of normalizing interest rates, which are still far too accommodating for the economic situation.” When allowed to continue, high inflation evolves into a problem that is both more extensive and more challenging to address. Once wages start adjusting to the levels of inflation, the potential for “transitory” employment will no longer exist. The general trend is for higher wages to result in higher consumer prices, which can contribute to higher levels of inflation. Getting out of a downward spiral of inflation is extremely challenging, and the top brass at RBC has warned about the issue.   Related posts.

Growth in Canadian real estate prices may stall within the next three months

Blogs / / / , , , , , , , , , , ,

Growth in Canadian real estate prices may stall within the next three months After being derailed by higher rates, the record run of the Canadian real estate market is quickly coming to an end. According to a recent research note published by BMO, the national sales to new listings ratio (SNLR) decreased in the month of April. This indicator acts as a leading price indicator by measuring supply in relation to demand. According to BMO, the real estate market in Canada can anticipate prices to compete with those in the country’s largest market, which may see price growth disappear within the next three months. Inventory Levels in Canadian Real Estate Markets Are Almost at a Balanced Level The sale to new listings ratio, also known as the SNLR, is a method for evaluating the relative levels of inventory. It is the proportion of homes that have been sold relative to the total number of homes that have been recently listed for sale. When the SNLR is higher, it indicates that there is less space for inventory in comparison to the amount of buying activity. The Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) has collected data that demonstrates an abrupt decline in the ratio. In April, the SNLR came in at 66 percent, which is significantly lower than the average of 76 percent seen over the course of the previous year. According to BMO, the market is on the verge of becoming balanced as a result of this healthy decline. At the national level, there has been a sudden transition from a hot market to a balanced market. However, the Greater Toronto Area market has the lowest ratio of any market in the country. Surprisingly, Canada has the weakest relative demand for real estate despite having one of the largest real estate bubbles in the world. The Real Estate Market in Toronto Is the Biggest in Canada, but It’s Beginning to Level Off According to BMO, one of the most important real estate markets to keep an eye on is Greater Toronto. The seasonally adjusted national listing ratio (SNLR) for Canada’s largest real estate market dropped to just 45 percent in April, putting it dangerously close to the bottom of a balanced market and inching closer to a seller’s market. According to the findings of the bank’s study, the regional SNLR has been on average 70 percent over the course of the past year. The disappearance of the Home price growth in 3 months  The industry utilizes SNLR to measure the price growth in homes and this measure is mainly confirmed by the BMO. “Decades of history show that this ratio is an excellent leading indicator for average transaction prices, leading prices by about three months,” said BMO chief economist Douglas Porter. “…what the ratio is now telling us is that prices are about to go from 20%+ gains to a sudden stall. And that’s assuming the sales/listings ratio doesn’t fall further in coming months.” As interest rate hikes have only gotten us halfway to neutral, it is likely that the SNLR will fall even further. At the beginning of this week, economists from a number of different financial institutions issued a warning to investors that the slowdown in the market is just getting started.   Related posts.

Toronto’s Real Estate Market is not in bubble wrap, confirms the Bank of Canada

Toronto’s Real Estate Market is not in bubble wrap, confirms the Bank of Canada To all who were aiming to buy a house in Toronto and were waiting in hope that the real estate market ’bubble’ would soon burst, you may be waiting for quite a while. In spite of a tepid decline in the first couple of months of the COVID-19 public health crisis, Toronto has been winging its way ever since. The word “bubble” has been widely mentioned by the media when reporting on the red-hot Canadian real estate market.  For a market to be considered in a bubble, it needs to appear in the index’s “yellow zone.” Prior to the pandemic, Toronto’s housing market was in a red zone which meant it was a “breezy market” but based on the Bank of Canada’s recent index, it didn’t make the cut. Confirmation by Bank of Canada In March 2021, Bank of Canada officials wrote that national resales reached all-time highs and house price growth surpassed its previous peak and also added strong demand that the desire for more space and limited supply have scaled prices upwards. The Bank of Canada has recently released its House Price Exuberance Index (HPEI) Indicator for the third quarter of last year. Now, how does it work? Officials have three classifications for the HPEI measurement. Anything that surpasses 1.0 denotes the city’s housing market is exuberant and appears to be red on the chart. When the HPEI is between 0.95 and 1.00, a bubble will potentially form and appear in yellow colour. If the HPEI is below 0.95, it depicts no signs of exuberance and will appear in green. Prior to the pandemic, the Toronto housing market’s HPEI was above 1.00 i.e in the red zone. In the post-crisis housing sector, Toronto did not make the list of exuberant markets. In its analytical note, the institution wrote that the Canadian housing market has been extremely strong during the COVID-19 pandemic. By March 2021, national resales reached all-time highs and house price growth broke its previous peak. Constant periods of rapid growth in house prices can frame the expectation that prices will continue to increase, even if economic fundamentals cannot support these increases. Concluding expectations like this can become self-fulfilling when the prospect of higher prices in the future raises housing demand today. Now a question arises whether this is an accurate representation of the Canadian real estate market or not?  Many homebuyers would suggest that frothy valuations are not met in detached, semi-detached, townhome and condominium units, particularly over the last 18 months. Although it should be noted that the Federal Reserve’s Exuberance Index, which is comparable to its Canadian counterpart, considers Canada’s real estate industry to be breezy and situated in a bubble. Can we expect a slow-down in Toronto House Market? In an answer to this, the market fundamentals suggest ‘no’. As per the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board, residential property sales pushed up 28 per cent in 2021, buoyed by record demand and notably low inventories. The highly compact market led to an average selling price of $1.095 million last year, up from the previous 2020 all-time high of $929,636. In a news release TRREB President Kevin Crigger stated that in spite of the continuing waves of COVID-19, demand for ownership housing had gone through a record pace in 2021. Economic extensions in many sectors supported job creation, especially in positions supporting above-average earnings. The fact that borrowing costs remained extremely low was further heightened to this. These aspects not only supported a continuation in demand for ground-oriented homes but also a renewal in the condo segment as well. A well-known proverb states that “Home is where Heart is”.Home is always a focus for residents and the pandemic period just elevated the depth of this proverb. In a statement,Keith Stewart, a Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver economist noted that with low-interest rates, more household savings, increased flexible work arrangements, and higher home prices than ever before, Metro Vancouverites, in record numbers, are assessing their housing needs and options. As the interest rates inflation prices will continue to rise thus we can conclude that Canada’s real estate market is in an interesting state, and can predict it could be more difficult to get a mortgage in the near future.
