A New Purchaser of a Condo Under Construction

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

A New Purchaser of a Condo Under Construction In the pre-construction real estate market, an assignee is the new buyer of a home or condominium who has legally transferred the contract for that property through an assignment sale. A contract for a yet-to-be-built property is being offered for sale or assignment by the original buyer to a potential buyer (or assignee). At this point in time, the buyer assumes full legal responsibility for the contract’s ongoing performance. The seller (assignor) has transferred the contract to the buyer (assignee), who is now legally bound by the terms of the agreement. Consequently, the assignee is the buyer in an assignment sale and, in the end, the legal owner of the house. Catherine wants to find a new place to live just outside of Toronto, where she presently resides and works, so she talks to her real estate agent online about possible pre-construction townhomes in Vaughan. Her real estate agent recommends a new townhouse in the city, one that is convenient to a wide variety of services and transportation alternatives. Free parking is provided, and homeowners association dues are inexpensive. Catherine is in luck because the sale of the unit is an assignment prior to construction, which means she can haggle for a lower price and potentially save a lot of money. The home, neighbourhood, and sales incentives are all appealing to Catherine. She gets an excellent price reduction and signs the contract to buy the new townhouse. In this transaction, Catherine is the new buyer, or assignee, of the pre-construction contract. She takes over the ownership of the pre-construction contract and assumes the assignor‘s rights and obligations under the agreement. To rephrase, once the assignment sale closes, Catherine will be the official owner of a brand-new house.

Positive Aspects of Making a Pre-Construction Purchase

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

Positive Aspects of Making a Pre-Construction Purchase In addition to saving yourself four years or more of waiting for new pre-construction, negotiating the purchase price, and securing a brand-new, never-lived-in home with full Tarion guarantee, there are a number of other advantages to purchasing a pre-construction assignment unit shortly before closing. Laura wants to buy her first home. After landing a job in Toronto this fall, she plans to relocate there. Due to the high demand in the city’s real estate market, most resales result in bidding wars and sell for significantly more than the asking price, and a pre-construction condo is unlikely to be ready for occupation when she needs it to be. Laura’s real estate agent has suggested that she consider purchasing a new home that is listed as a pre-construction assignment. Laura may want to look into purchasing a pre-construction unit if the listing date is several months before the unit is actually ready for occupation. Her real estate agent explains all the advantages of owning an assignment that she can take advantage of. Laura is able to take advantage of the price-negotiating feature. If Laura purchases a condo during the pre-construction assignment period, she will be able to save a lot of money. The current status of the real estate market leaves little room for haggling over the purchase price, whether it be a pre-construction purchase or a resale. Laura can save a lot of money by negotiating a favourable assignment sale directly with the contract’s seller. Laura can save even more money by making an offer below market value, as the initial buyer may be in a hurry to close the deal and be more receptive to counteroffers. Many people in the market for a new or replacement residence know very little about assignment sales. Developer limits on advertising and marketing of the contract make it more difficult to find these transactions. Since fewer people are aware of these listings, Laura’s agent thinks she has a better chance of securing the apartment she wants without having to engage in a competitive bidding war. Without making a purchase during the exclusive “VIP sales” time of a new development project, Laura is treated as if she were a celebrity. When Laura buys the assignment, she will be entitled to all of the perks that were promised to the original buyer, such as free parking, a free locker, appealing dollars, closing credits, and so on. Laura also receives the enormous perk of relocating to a brand-new, never-before-occupied house. Laura is completely at ease with the purchase because no one else has used the bathroom or the appliances and because they normally come with a full Tarion guarantee. And depending on where things stand with the building of her actual unit, she may still be able to go to the design centre and select her own designs, amenities, and finishes, making her new home truly her own. Another perk for Laura is that she can move into her new place earlier if she buys rather than leases, as assignment sales are typically advertised for purchasing closer to interim possession. It typically takes about four to five years from the start of pre-construction until a high-rise building is ready for occupancy. By opting to buy an assignment, Laura’s new house will be ready for her to move into in months rather than years. Get in touch with a Certified Expert immediately if you’re thinking of buying a pre-construction home through an assignment listing, or if you’re just curious about how they work and how they can benefit you in your home search.

Mortgage rates to rise with latest interest rate hike, but the end of raising cycle near

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

Mortgage rates to rise with latest interest rate hike, but the end of raising cycle near The increase in interest rates by a half per cent that was implemented by the Bank of Canada on Wednesday signals greater hardship for indebted homeowners and those who are trying to enter the property market because they will now have to fight with even higher mortgage rates and borrowing costs. After the Fed increased interest rates, the Royal Bank of Canada was the first of the Big Six banks to hike their prime rate, taking it from 5.95 per cent to 6.45 per cent. On Wednesday afternoon, the lending rates of the Toronto-Dominion Bank, the Bank of Montreal, Scotiabank, National Bank of Canada, CIBC, Equitable Bank, and Laurentian Bank were all raised to 6.45 per cent, with the increase taking effect on December 8. Economists, on the other hand, have pointed out a potential silver lining in the fact that the most recent massive rate increase — which raised the central bank’s trend-setting policy rate up to 4.25 per cent — could indicate the end of the cycle of rate hikes. While the majority of real estate markets are beginning to feel the consequences of rising interest rates, which have now increased by 400 basis points this year, the real estate markets in Toronto and Vancouver have been affected the worst. The number of properties that changed hands in Toronto dropped by 49 per cent year over year in November, which contributed to the price of a home falling by almost seven per cent to approximately one million dollars. The housing market in Vancouver did not fare any better, with sales decreasing by more than 50 per cent in November and the benchmark price of a home falling from October. Even while home sales and prices are falling, homes are not becoming more affordable for people who are considering purchasing one. According to Victor Tran, an expert on mortgages and real estate at Ratesdotca, the most recent action taken by the central bank will most likely result in the prime lending rate being given by the major banks increasing to 6.45%. Tran also stated that a homeowner with a variable-rate mortgage can anticipate an increase in monthly payments of around $28 per $100,000 of mortgage balance for every increase of 50 basis points in the interest rate. “Previous rate hikes significantly cooled the housing market while rising rates pushed many homebuyers, including first-time homebuyers and investors, to the sidelines to wait out the instability in the market,” Tran said, adding that Wednesday’s hike will have the same effect. “Rising rates pushed many homebuyers, including first-time homebuyers and investors, to the sidelines to wait out the instability in the market,” Tran said. Before purchasers start returning to the market in the spring of 2023, we may be witnessing the bottom of the trough that the housing market has been in. Mortgage holders are already feeling the effects of higher interest rates, which the Bank of Canada is beginning to notice. According to the most recent data provided by the central bank, approximately half of all variable-rate mortgages with fixed payments and nearly one-fifth of the entire Canadian mortgage pool have already hit their “trigger rates.” This refers to the point at which monthly mortgage payments are only covering the interest and are not making any progress on the principal. Those looking for a new place to call home will be pleased to hear this. Clay Jarvis, an expert on mortgages and real estate who works for the personal finance website NerdWallet Canada, stated that despite the fact that the path to homeownership may have become a little more difficult as a result of this announcement, this fact should not be a deal-breaker for prospective buyers. According to Jarvis, prospective purchasers of homes should be encouraged by the possibility that the Bank of Canada is getting close to the conclusion of its cycle of interest rate hikes. If the central bank truly believes that inflation will be back down to around three percent by the end of 2023, then they must also believe that the rate hikes they’ve been making will start having a noticeable effect in the early to middle stages of next year. “The overnight rate could rise further in January and March, but if the bank truly believes that inflation will be back down around three percent by the end of 2023, then they must also believe that the rate hikes they’ve been making will start having a If inflation begins to fall, there should be a halt to interest rate increases. The economics team at the Royal Bank of Canada made the observation that the policy statement issued by the Bank of Canada in conjunction with the interest rate increase was not as hawkish as the increase itself. In today’s guidelines, rather than stating that “the policy interest rate will need to rise further,” RBC Economics senior economist Josh Nye noted that “Governing Council will be examining whether the policy interest rate needs to rise further.” That unquestionably leaves the door open for a pause as soon as the next meeting in January, and from our point of view, that decision can be framed somewhere between 0 and 25 (basis points).

Canada hopes to welcome half a million immigrants by 2025, but can the country keep up?

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

CANADA HOPES TO WELCOME HALF A MILLION IMMIGRANTS BY 2025, BUT CAN THE COUNTRY KEEP UP?​ Policymakers say increased immigration is needed to boost Canada’s economy and reduce labour shortages, yet population expansion causes growing pains. Canada increased by 700,000 inhabitants in a year, about the same as Mississauga. Canada adds a big city each year. The population has spread, especially to urban areas but also to suburbs and remote communities. They work, learn, and improve their lives here. Canada’s population increased by 285,000, 0.7 per cent, from July to September, the highest increase since Newfoundland joined Confederation in 1949. Over the past year, Mississauga, Canada’s seventh-largest city, has gained 700,000 residents. The federal Liberal Party accelerated the trend. Since 2016, the country has expanded nearly twice as fast as its G7 peers. Immigration mostly drives that increase. However, a population surge has growing pains. 220,000 homes were built last year. The greatest ratio since 1991 was 3.2 new inhabitants per home. Most places are losing affordability. The population boom is exacerbating the residential supply-demand gap. Canadian governments struggle to provide fundamental services. Overcrowded hospitals cancel surgeries. Newcomers to Canada have trouble finding family doctors. Cash-strapped cities can’t fix their infrastructure quickly enough. People are fleeing cities due to affordability issues. Teachers, nurses, and construction workers manage those cities. Ottawa accelerates in this tense situation. The federal government wants 500,000 permanent residents in 2025 after admitting 405,000 last year. Only part of the migrant wave: Last count, 1.4 million residents have temporary employment or study visas. Canada is adjusting. Due to rising loan rates and declining profitability, developers are cancelling or postponing home projects. If more homes are required, fewer are built. How immigrants are building jobs in Canada despite challenges Immigrants shield us from the worst political and economic risks. When so many social infrastructure pillars are failing, economists wonder why the federal government will increase service demand. They worry that Ottawa is too focused on immigration targets and not enough on assimilating newcomers. The federal government says increasing immigration solves many of these issues. They want foreign physicians, nurses, and homebuilders. Recent immigrants waited years for entry. They arrive over decades of rising inflation and diminishing economic growth. Skilled immigrants should adjust well. Others are finding the Canadian dream expensive and possibly not what they expected. According to the last census, a narrow majority of new immigrants prefer Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal, but more are moving elsewhere. As migrants flood other cities, prices are rising fast. As per Rentals.ca data, the average rent in Calgary has increased 18% to $1,720 a month. London, Ontario, rose 26%. 21% Halifax. The affordability crisis makes it hard to recruit and retain key workers. Aled ab Iorwerth, deputy chief economist of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp., mentioned that large cities face considerable economic risks if housing costs are not controlled. “These cities are becoming pricey, making it harder to attract qualified and even highly-skilled workers.” Huge work awaits. Canada would need to build 3.5 million more houses than planned by 2030 to return affordability to 2003 and 2004 levels, according to CMHC. This year, the federal government pledged billions to double house building over the next decade. Higher borrowing rates kill that plan. Labor is another issue. CMHC reported a shortage of trained labour to build badly needed homes. Shaun Hildebrand, president of real estate firm Urbanation, stated, “Even under more ideal conditions, I don’t think we have the capability to construct at a rate that balances the demand through population increase that we’re witnessing.

Canadian Real Estate Prices Fall 30%, Recession Starts: Ox Econ

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

Canadian Real Estate Prices Fall 30%, Recession Starts: Ox Econ Neither the real estate market nor the economy in Canada looks particularly promising at the moment. This week, Oxford Economics issued a warning to its clients saying that a recession was starting to take shape. Higher interest rates meant to curb inflation are instead significantly lowering property prices and extending the recession. In addition, high inflation makes it unlikely that we would see a stimulus windfall, as it would work against efforts to reduce the economy’s temperature. EXPECTED 30% DROP IN CANADIAN REAL ESTATE PRICES WILL ERASE RECENT GAINS There will likely be more drops in Canadian real estate prices, but the gains made before the pandemic should survive. The business forecasts prices plummeting 30% from peak-to-trough, after surging more than 54% since March 2020. Those who bought in March would have seen their investment rise at a compound annual rate of about 2.3%, for those who don’t have a calculator handy (CAGR). Not quite the windfall some had hoped for, especially when rising prices are factored in. The percentage of GDP accounted for by new real estate is also predicted to decline, namely residential investment. In this year, the market declined by 10% from Q1 to Q3 because of rising interest rates. The firm predicts a further 8% fall in the coming year, which isn’t too hard to see with declining new construction sales. CANADIANS MIGHT EXPECT A DEEPER AND LONGER RECESSION THAN USUAL Early indicators of a recession have already developed, and this next recession is projected to be lengthier than typical. During this recession, homebuyers have cut back and businesses have become more cautious about spending money. The business is projecting a 2% fall in real GDP from Q4 2022 to Q3 2023. You can probably predict that the effect won’t be the same. Tony Stillo, the company’s director of economics, said, “This recession is slightly longer but milder than the average recession since 1970.” Canadians with large amounts of debt and overpriced homes will feel the effects the most. IMPORTANT BOOST NOT LIKELY AND COUNTERPRODUCTIVE Looking at the current economic downturn as a stimulus bonanza? Stillo advises against putting any stock in that possibility. The slump won’t be too terrible, and the completion of long-awaited infrastructure projects will ease its effects. However, excessive inflation has become a constraining factor. “To avoid undermining the Bank of Canada’s attempts to contain inflation, any fresh fiscal stimulus is unlikely unless the recession is severe,” said Stillo.

A collaboration on transit-oriented communities

Blogs / / / , , , , , ,

A collaboration on transit-oriented communities Canada is a country where all kinds of migrators seek solace in their jobs and for studies. Canada is famous for a number of things and services that the country provides. Along with its impeccable maple syrup and unbeatable environmental diversity, Canada offers a comparatively better standard of living and quality of life to anybody moving there. The Canadian government is always in news for indulging in developing strategies and planning to make life easier and stress-free in the country. Forming Transit-oriented communities – a drive for a better life Recently governments of Toronto, Canada, and Ontario have collaborated to incentivize Transit-oriented communities majorly at five Ontario Line stations and in the Greater Toronto area. When two governments collaborate for a cause it often concludes in transit-oriented development. Aims of the strategizers Imagine if you were to live in a place where transportation is not just made easy but smart, with better housing facilities, and you are offered a rather familiar community background, who wouldn’t want to live in such a place, right? This is the aim of both the governments, to help bring your workplace closer enough for you to walk and to focus on working for a sustainable development-oriented strategy. This will not only provide an easier way of life but will also help combat global warming and climate change as such a transformation will help in sustainable development not only revitalizing the city but also will promote less use of vehicles and more use of pedestrian walking. They are trying to bridge the gap between the number of subways in the cities to make transportation easier and faster with timely inputs and setups of the local municipality and indigenous partners. It is a pavement for building a new community that is both vibrant and sustainable. Planning and implementation Both the governments announced that they are ready to begin forming TOCs or transit-oriented communities and development to commence near five Ontario Line stations including East Harbour, Corktown- first parliament, Queen Spadina, King- Bathurst, and exhibition in the Greater Toronto Area on the 12th April 2022. A memorandum for understanding was signed in February 2020 and in the last council meeting, held on 6th April, eight stations of implementation were decided for the pilot year of the project. Ontario’s Minister of infrastructure, Kinga Surma, put his faith in the project and said the following words “The Ontario government is seizing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build complete communities around transit. We have worked tirelessly with the City of Toronto and our private sector partner to reach this exciting milestone, and we look forward to transforming these communities to include transit facilities, while also ensuring compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods and creating benefits for families and businesses for generations to come.” The strategy is to expand the subway stations, especially the five priority subways, along with GO Train line subway service connection and deliver Light rail transit stations or LRTs. It will enhance subway expansion connecting streetcar, local bus, and subway services altogether with new housing opportunities and commercial retailing in Corktown while reminiscing the history of the first parliament site. East Harbour is expected to be the commercial hub by creating a major employment center that will deploy over 50,000 new job opportunities in the vicinity. It will also focus on residential development and transit hubs which will connect GO train services with streetcar services. The Exhibition station is expected to transform into a transit hub with GO services, Light rail transit stations, and TTC services, to help make transportation easier for going to events and concerts, etc. The Queen Spadina and King Bathurst stations will reinforce vibrant communities and will be expected to provide housing and retail business services with acceptance of the heritage significance of the sites. The transit-oriented development around Ontario is partnered with Infrastructure Ontario, Metrolinx, and the government who all have distinct areas to work on for the development to conceive. Conclusion If the development and transit-oriented communities come into conviction can result and benefit in the following way – Reduction in traffic congestion and initiation of the trend of transit -riders Increment of housing supply and facilities thus bringing in more local amenities together Bringing retail businesses and commercial jobs to the community and a community for them to brew. Advancing sustainable development Help in the acceleration of the economy and its projects after the pandemic period with an offset on the cost of construction of stations. Related posts.

A 69-Storey Stacked Tower is being proposed by Capital Developments

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

A 69-Storey Stacked Tower is being proposed by Capital Developments At 90 Isabella Street in the Church-Wellesley neighbourhood of Toronto, Capital Developments is putting forward a plan for a stacked tower with 69 storeys that will be placed on a base of heritage buildings. Diamond Schmitt Architects are responsible for the design of the condominium. They are also responsible for the design of 88 Isabella, which is a 62-story project that is being proposed by the same developer and is located directly next door to the west. We wrote on this project two weeks ago. According to the Capital Developments, they are involved in the two nearby projects, the investor groups for each are entirely distinct, and the properties for each were purchased at various points in time. As a direct consequence of this, the individuals in charge of Development Management are distinct from one another, and despite the fact that there is some duplication in the design teams, the two projects and applications are entirely distinct from one another. The address 90 Isabella refers to a collection of four individual homes located on Isabella Street: 90, 90A, 92, and 94 Isabella Street. There is already a modest townhome development constructed in the back of the property, in addition to a collection of charming heritage homes that face Isabella and are positioned in front of the property. Isabella 90, Isabella 90A, and Isabella 92 are all classified as heritage structures, however, Isabella 94 is only listed on the heritage register; it is not certified as a heritage building. While designation implies that the City believes that certain aspects of a building actually have heritage worth, the listing suggests that certain aspects might have heritage value but that a comprehensive examination of them has not been finished. While we wait for the application documents to appear on the City’s website and provide additional details, we can make out some details from the renderings, which show that the heritage buildings are proposed to be retained almost entirely, rather than just preserving their facades. While we wait for the application documents, we can make out some details from the renderings. The podium of the tower would rise from behind the heritage buildings and be clad in reflective glazing so that the base of the building would give the impression that it is “dissolving” behind the heritage buildings. This effect would be achieved by concealing the base of the building behind the heritage buildings. The tower that would rise above the podium would be coated in grey stone, and it would feature reflective glazing that would provide a silver sheen to the building. Because of the way the apartment balconies are going to be arranged, the façade of the skyscraper will have a pattern that looks like a grid. The inside of the building would have a total of 837 residential apartments spread across its total floor space of 570,000m2. A mid-tower curtain wall consisting of multiple storeys would break up the tower approximately halfway up, giving the impression that a second tower is placed on top of the first one. This is done in order to alleviate the oppressive feeling that would be caused by the intended 69 stories of height. Related posts.

A Proposal to Construct Three Towers Across from the Pioneer Village

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

A Proposal to Construct Three Towers Across from the Pioneer Village A plan has been proposed by N.H.D. Developments Ltd. to increase the number of people living in an apartment complex that is designed in the Tower-in-the-Park style and is located on the southwest corner of Steeles Avenue West and Jane Street in the Black Creek neighbourhood of Toronto. If the proposed By-law Amendment and Property Plan Approval authorize the building of three towers at 4001 Steeles Avenue West ranging in height from 35 to 45 storeys, the site will be able to accommodate 1,621 additional condominiums residences after the project is finished. N.H.D. Developments Inc. commissioned the architectural firm of Graziani + Corazza to design the structure that would be located in the city of Toronto at 4001 Steeles Avenue West. The following streets and avenues surround the land on all sides: Steeles Avenue to the north, Jane Street to the east, Hullmar Drive to the south, and another townhome site to the west. It is currently occupied by a commercial plaza that is just one storey tall and has surface parking, as well as a pair of Y-shaped rental apartment buildings that are either 14 or 17 floors tall. In a span of twelve minutes, it is possible to walk to both the Pioneer Village Station and the Highway 407 Station, which allow access to the Yonge-University subway line. These stations are located to the east and north of the starting point, respectively (Line 1). The parcel of land at issue may be found in what was then the city of North York; more specifically, it can be found on the northern limit of the Black Creek neighbourhood. You can discover the border that divides the City of Toronto and the City of Vaughan on the side of the road which is on the opposite side of the road, which is the north side of Steeles. The majority of the neighbourhood is composed of residential structures that are either low-rise or high-rise in height. The majority of the area’s employment lands are located to the west along Highway 400 and in Vaughan, which is located on the other side of Steeles. The high-rises are located not just along key arterial roads but also on the outskirts of natural areas of the city. Jane Street must be through in order to gain access to the Black Creek Pioneer Village from the east, and Steels Street must be traversed in order to gain access from the north. The Black Creek Community Farm can be found to the southeast of the project and is adjacent to Jane Street on one side. This farm features greenhouses, surrounding active agriculture, and pedestrian pathways. The proposed complex would be made up of buildings that would take the form of a pedestal and a tower respectively. Because of this, the GFA would end up being 109,193 m2, and the density would be 2.64 FSI. Building A may be found at the northernmost tip of the property and looks out over Steeles. A podium that is eight storeys tall and two towers that are each 45 storeys tall and are separated by 30 metres make up this structure, which faces east to west and is oriented in that direction. A floor plate that is 800 square metres in size can be found in each skyscraper. The seventh floor features a step-back that is 1.5 metres tall, which creates a street wall that is 6 storeys tall. This wall along the street is designed to complement the structure that is situated directly across the street and to the north. The six-storey street wall that wraps around the podium elevation to the east provides a frame for the outdoor amenity area that has been provided in the site’s most northeastern corner. Building B, which can be found on the east side of the land, is laid out in a direction that runs from north to south. It reaches a height of 35 storeys and offers a podium and streetwall height that is comparable to that of Building A. This building also has a similar footprint. In addition, the floorplate of the tower is 800 square metres, and it is separated from Tower A2 by a distance of 30 metres and from the apartment building that is already there to the southwest by a distance of 28 metres. Building B is a transitional structure that decreases in height as it moves from one side of the site to the other. Moreover, it also approaches the Y-shaped buildings that are located at 5000 Jane Street and 4001 Steeles Avenue West. A small residential lobby can be found on the ground floor of the base buildings, in addition to the interior amenity rooms that can be found running along the main frontages of the buildings. The beginning of the residential units can be found on the second floor, and each floor that comes after that is quite similar to each other. The entirety of the residential units contained within Buildings A and B brings the total number of homes that can be found there to 1,621. The overall proposed unit mix is comprised of 4 studios, which together account for 0% of the total, 1,079 one-bedroom units, 396 two-bedroom units, and 142 three-bedroom units, which together account for 90% of the total. There will also be 4 townhouses, which will account for 10% of the total. The total amount of amenity space that would be offered to residents would be 6,524 square metres, and this space would be distributed across indoor and outdoor places in an equal manner. A new road would run in a northwest-to-southeast direction through the middle of the property in question, in between the planned structures and the existing buildings. It would connect to the existing surface parking spaces, as well as lead to and from the driveway entrances on Hullmar Drive. This driveway is intended to accommodate passenger pick-up and drop-off, in addition to providing

Living in Main Floors- A Great matter of importance for Aging Canadians who want a Pleasant Life Ahead

Living in Main Floors- A Great matter of importance for Aging Canadians who want a Pleasant Life Ahead The main floor, single storey living is in high demand for elderly Canadians who want to spend their years living peacefully at their homes. A survey conducted by Royal Lepage reveals that 44 percent of the answerers say that a well-furnished living space is important for Canadians who wish to spend their remaining years in a restful environment. 55 percent of the people said that a single-storey living, which can make room for a bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and kitchen on a floor was preferable. This survey was conducted with expert sales representatives who excel in senior and accessible housing.“Seniors are mostly looking to be able to choose where and how they live, instead of someone else making that decision for them. Except this, they all have different needs and are looking for independent home features” Says Caroline Baile, a certified Accredited senior agent with Royal Lepage.  “Along with that, they are also concerned about their long-term requirements much before than previous generations. They are thinking about their life after retiring, even before it has happened  Most buyers desire a home that will help them adjust into their old years easily.” Living in a senior home is an experience, this is partly the reason why many aged people are selecting to stay in their own homes. 75 percent of the answerers of the survey revealed that Canadians are inquiring about staying at single-storey houses rather than in senior homes, which can be pretty expensive. Around 60 percent of the people are concerned about the safety of senior homes, which have been in talks during the pandemic. According to another survey, Boomer generation, the oldest one alive would prefer to reconstruct their own houses rather than go to a new place for living. Many people are mostly choosing to live in a condominium or a cottage without stairs because of its low maintenance and downsize. 40 percent of the answerers said that aged clients prefer an entrance to the front and backyard without a stairway and also a bathtub that could be walked into or a shower with a far-ranging entry. Slipring floors were by no means an option for aged people. At 80 percent, 50 percent, and 48 percent respectively it was decided that Tubs, shelves, and a wheelchair-accessible stairway were ‘not compulsory’ for clients. Older people prefer to live close by their families, hospitals, and other services like restaurants and stores within walking distance. ‘Well-being and relief are the priorities for them’ One day they might need much more support and even a wheelchair or walker, Further added Baile. They want to stay in their homes for a lifetime, then they will have to develop their homes according to these circumstances.   Related posts.

Housing prices kicks off, stuck historically high, but trended lower in January According to the latest information from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) new housing starts across Canada trended lowered after wrapping up for the first month of 2022. The trend in housing starts was 254,133 units in January which was a drop as compared to December. This trend is defined as a six-month rolling mean of the monthly cyclical adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts by the CMHC. These kinds of trend measures are used as a supplement to the periodic SAAR of housing starts to “account for considerable swings in monthly estimates,” Bob Dugan who is CMHC’s chief economist said that the trend on a monthly basis has increased historically high but the 6-month trend in housing was much lower in December to January.  Between Montréal, Toronto, and Vancouver, Montréal was the only market to report growth in total SAAR starts in January as a result of higher single-detached and multi-family starts. As noted by Dugan. The standalone monthly SAAR of total housing kicks off for all areas in the country was 230,754 units in the month of January which is a 3 percent drop as compared to December. Also, in January the SAAR dropped by 5% of total urban. The value was 204,428 units and the rural starts were to be 26,326 units. Multiple urban starts dropped by 9% in a periodic way to 144,332 units by housing type. this is because single-detached urban starts really grew 7. It was 60,096 units between January and December. The SAAR of total urban starts dropped five percent monthly to 204,428 units, while rural starts were estimated to be 26,326 units at a seasonally adjusted annual rate in the same month. In January, Toronto, Montréal, and Vancouver reported SAAR totals of 21,714 units, 26,456 units, and 22,192 units by metropolitan area. This is basically a 27% and 17% decrease in Toronto and Vancouver but also a 16% increase in Montreal. This exactly equals 27% and also a decrease of 17% and its increases were actually noted in Ottawa-Gatineau which is 94% and Winnipeg which is 4%. A housing start when construction starts on a building where a dwelling unit is located, usually when concrete has been poured for the footing over the structure, or the equal stage when a basement is not one part of the structure is defined by CMCH.
