Toronto condo market seen stabilizing in 2013: CMHC

Toronto’s slowing condo market will stabilize next year, but the risk that prices will fall is greater in the longer term, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation says.
Shaun Hildebrand, a senior market analyst for the Greater Toronto Area at CMHC, presented his latest thoughts on the market at a conference Wednesday morning.
The large quantity of cranes dotting the city’s skyline are part of the reason why many observers have suggested that Toronto’s condo market could be in a bubble, one that could precede a significant drop in prices.
But Mr. Hildebrand said he’s far less worried than many. “I’m not overly concerned, although there are risks,” he said in an interview. Among those are the rising proportion of condos that are owned by investors, and the large increase in new condominiums that will be completed in the years ahead.
One risk that Mr. Hildebrand doesn’t subscribe to is the much-discussed notion that foreign investors are propping up the market.
“I don’t see that there will be any sort of mass exodus of foreign money,” he said. While there are no statistics on the proportion of new condos that are being bought by foreigners, Mr. Hildebrand said that surveys by the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation suggest that about four per cent of the condos in Toronto are owned by people who don’t have Canadian citizenship.
Mr. Hildebrand also takes comfort from some lessons he’s learned by studying the condo bubble that occurred in the late 1980s.
“Even though today we see that the number of units under construction is about twice as high as it was back then, the share of units that are unsold is relatively low,” he said. “When a project comes to completion today it’s 95 per cent presold. In the late 1980s bubble it was at best 60 per cent sold.”
Buyers also generally put down larger deposits today, making it harder to walk away.
“Condo prices from 1985 to 1989 rose by 170 per cent, so there was a lot of speculative activity going on then,” he said. “And then you were entering into a very significant recession that hit the labour market in the early ‘90s, and interest rates went into the double digits. But despite that perfect storm we only saw prices decline by about 25 per cent over the course of the next seven years, a relatively small amount in relation to the run up, so that tells us that prices are pretty sticky on the way down.”
In addition, Mr. Hildebrand said that a lot of investors who bought condos in the late ‘80s held onto them when the market got tough.
Another statistic that gives him comfort: he says that in the past decade condo prices have risen by about 55 per cent, while the price of all other homes have risen by about 75 per cent.
Moreover, he compared Toronto prices to those in other cities around the world, and found that prices for prime condo space in areas like London and Paris are twice as high as they are for prime space in Toronto, and in New York and Tokyo they’re about 30 per cent higher than here.
“So even though we’re seeing all of this supply, all of this building taking place, it’s not necessarily a prescription that prices have to decline,” he said. “In the short term we’re quite confident that prices will hold up. They may decline slightly over the next six to nine months, but in an environment where interest rates remain low and the economy’s holding stable, any sort of reductions in price are just going to help to improve affordability and set the stage for a better level of sales towards the end of 2013.”
While he doesn’t see sales rebounding to the levels they were at prior to the moves Ottawa made in July to tighten up the mortgage market, he does expect them to be “a little higher” than they are now.
“The longer term comes with some greater risks,” he said. “There’s almost 50,000 units under construction right now, an increasing share of investors are believed to own these units, so it’s going to be key to understand what they choose to do with their units when they come to completion. Right now a lot of them are holding on. But will they continue to do that in the future? And the bigger question is what demand is going to look like. It’s obviously more difficult to anticipate the economic environment a few years out than it is say over the next year or so. So that’s where the risks lie, I would say 2014, 2015.”

More Signs of Cooling in Toronto’s Red-Hot Condo Market


New condominium apartment sales in Toronto fell 30% in the third quarter from the second quarter, Urbanation Inc. said Thursday, another sign the condo market in Canada’s biggest city has topped out in the wake of the Canadian government’s efforts to guard against as U.S.-style, real-estate meltdown.
But at the same time developers are getting the message and slowing construction activity to meet the reduced demand, the Toronto-based condo market research company found.
Concerned in particular over the prospect of a potential housing bubble forming in Toronto and Vancouver amid a condo building boom in the two cities, Canada’s Finance Minister Jim Flaherty this summer tightened mortgage-lending rules to guard against an overheating market.
In a release Thursday, Urbanation’s findings suggest the government’s moves are working. New condo apartment sales fell 30% to 3,317 in the third quarter from the prior period, and unsold units were being offered at 573 Canadian dollars per square foot at the end of September, “an increase of just 2%” from the year-ago period, Urbanation said. The condo resale market also slowed in the third quarter, with sales down 32% from the second quarter, the group said.
Last month, Greater Toronto Area Realtors released figures supporting this trend.  The group reported at 20.5% drop in condo and apartment sales in the third quarter and average condo selling prices that were largely in line with the year- ago period.
In another sign of cooling market conditions, those buying condos appear to be settling for smaller places as a result of belt tightening.
“The change in the mortgage insurance rules may have forced many buyers to settle for smaller units than they had previously desired,” Ben Myers, Urbanation executive vice president, said in a statement. “The number of resale transactions for units priced over $400,000 fell 40% compared to last quarter, while there was a 38% quarterly drop in units traded over 1,000 (square feet).”
Against this backdrop, the average condo project in which construction has been completed so far in 2012 took 3.85 years from “from sales launch to occupancy,” compared with 2.68 years in 2003, Urbanation notes.
“The share of unsold inventory in Toronto….remains below the 10-year average,” Urbanation said.
That said, the slowdown in new condo sales represents a potential boon for existing owners who want to rent out their places.
“The reduced level of project completions has contributed to a very tight condominium rental market,” Urbanation said.

Condo Boom - Toronto Gets Manhattanized

With increasing population and real estate owning dreams and demands of the new age, the growth of condominiums is hardly startling. The current trend in scarcity of single and detached homes is getting reduced day by day.

For families that have once dreamed of owning bungalows of their own have little hopes to cling on seeing the current scenario. The building of town homes and colonies are expected to rise substantially in the coming years. The projections on the market growth of new age condominiums is showing steep rise in terms of their numbers but their prices won’t be any higher than the single houses.

As per the words of the great personality in the area of real estate Brad Lamb, this era is being referred by him as Toronto getting Manhattanized. The idea behind such a title is that buying a house in Manhattan is not even affordable to the people in higher paying services. This phenomenon rules out all the ordinary families from having any say in such markets and leaving them no other option than to choose from the varied choices of flats and apartments available in their budgets.

It is not just Toronto where this phenomenon is getting evolved rather this is the trend that is happening in all the major cities of the world. And as per the experts, this change was quite inevitable and is further fueled by the rising market value of properties. It apparently becomes as true as they truly say that “the first home decision is tougher on the parent’s dime”.

With this new shift in housing option there is a shift in the minds of people of what they will be expecting in the homes they now opt for. They have to change their mindsets about living in free opened spaces having individual garden areas or garages attached in the periphery. In spite they would have to acclimatize to living in densely populated spaces.

“Life can get loud still we could create a quiet environment inside our home” – This is portrayed by the Canadian spirit when it comes to choosing their living options. Currently it’s just an option for those who have got sufficient money but after some years down the line it will be the only accommodation type that a family could possibly get or afford.

Considering this aspect, many local governments are trying their best not to give the market forces the scope to enter and modify the plans of city building. Rather they are seen on being very keen on providing extra incentives to the developers of real estate on building projects that include row houses, bungalows and other such single housing schemes.

Toronto's condo boom won't burst housing bubble: RBC Read more: http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/toronto-s-condo-boom-won-t-burst-housing-bubble-rbc-1.891554#ixzz21kqYaZw9


TORONTO -- A new report wants to burst the idea of a Toronto housing bubble.
Yes, condo sales and construction are booming, but the Royal Bank of Canada report says there is no housing bubble because the city's number of new housing units is in line with demographic needs.
The Greater Toronto Area sees an influx of close to 100,000 people each year.
That translated to approximately 38,000 new households per year from 2006 to 2011, according to RBC and Statistics Canada data in the report.
One constraint to urban development is the Ontario government's plan to handle growth and development in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, which is known as "Places to Grow" and seeks to curb urban sprawl.
Faced with the task of accommodating the 38,000 new households, new housing in Toronto has nowhere to grow but up.
May 2012 saw a record 44,100 condos and apartments under construction, as well as 6,200 multiple units, which are detached and row houses.
The report's findings also aim to quell fears that scores of empty condominiums are piling up.
"Concerns that large numbers of newly built condo units are sitting empty are simply not supported by the statistics," the report, released Tuesday, says.
The report says approximately 7.5 per cent of the condo units completed in the previous 12 months are unoccupied, and estimates that unoccupied units represent close to 0.2 per cent of the stock of multiple units. Both figures are less than numbers from the 1980s when Toronto saw a housing bubble burst.
While investors represent a large share of condo buyers, concerns about property "flipping" might be overblown, the report adds.
Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation reported last fall that only 10 to 15 per cent of new condos are listed for sale within 12 months of registration.
Tuesday's report says the majority of condo investment properties are actually helping to fill a gap in the rental market.
"The biggest risk that we see for the coming years is a possible mismatch between the types of condo units bought by investors and the types ultimately demanded for occupancy," says the report.
A mismatch could occur with a greater emphasis on small, single-unit apartments when currently about three-quarters of rental demand is for high-rise multi-family units.
However, the report is quick to dismiss these concerns, pointing to the demand for rental units.
The report suggests that recent changes that tightened mortgage rules will push more people into the rental market.
As of last month, the maximum amortization period dropped from 30 to 25 years for government-insured mortgages, and the refinancing limit was capped at 80 per cent down from its previous 85 per cent.
The report notes that while the city saw an 18 per cent increase in condo rental units, the rental vacancy rate dropped to 1.1 per cent last year.

Marilyn Monroe and Monroe Mate are truly beautiful and view from upper floors is just the best in Mississauga and one of the best in GTA. For condos for sale and lease please contact me directly!  


They’ve got her sky-high curves and international admirers.
A pair of voluptuous Mississauga condo towers is now in league with Hollywood’s most famous blonde — as well as the world’s best new skyscrapers.
The Absolute Towers, the first nicknamed the “Marilyn Monroe,” were awarded the prize of Best Tall Buildings in the Americas on Wednesday.
The Chicago-based Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, a non-profit group of architects and engineers, awarded the title.
Other winners included a Sydney skyscraper with a sunlit, roof-top atrium, a 40-storey “piazza” in Italy, and a tower in Abu Dhabi with a façade that rotates with the movement of the sun.
The two Mississauga buildings, 50 storeys and 56 storeys each, are part of a five-building development off Hurontario St. and Burnhamthorpe Rd.
Their undulating shape is the design of young Beijing-based architect, Ma Yansong, and his firm, MAD Architects. Ma entered an international design competition hosted by the tower’s developers Fernbrook Homes and Cityzen, and was awarded the project in 2006.
In Toronto, Burka Architects designed the interiors alongside engineering firm Sigmund Soudak & Associates.
The building represented constant challenges. In most towers, all but two of the floors are exactly the same, said engineer Yury Gelman. In this building, none of them were.
For Gelman, this created the most challenging project of his almost 40-year career – and one of the most exciting.
“I remember when it started, I couldn’t sleep, because I was afraid we wouldn’t get it,” he said. “And then we got it, I couldn’t sleep, because I was wondering how we would solve these structural problems.”
But he knew from the beginning that they would be “extraordinary.”
The buildings are expected to be fully built by August. Only the penthouses and executive suites still need to be finished, said Stacey Stewart, a high-rise sales representative with Fernbrook. Most of the residents have already moved in.
The shape has translated to attention, and buyers, from home and abroad.
“We get people commenting all the time,” said Stewart.
Buyers have come from around the world, particularly Dubai. They have a taste for eye-catching high-rises, she says, and they “appreciate” the building’s style.
Such a high profile may seem surprising for a suburban condo project, but Kevin Brass, public affairs manager for the Council, says the towers are in step with global trends.
“There’s been a more fundamental shift,” he said. “In the past, towers were almost universally office towers, and they were icons for companies.”
In 2000, 85 of the 100 tallest buildings were offices, he said. In 2012, the number expected to drop to 41.
In place of cubicles, high-rises host homes and hotels. They’re expected to be functional, not just fancy, he said, and there’s an emphasis on efficiency and quality of life.
Brass said the tower’s address is also part of a regional shift. While skyscrapers are surging in numbers in Asia and the Middle East, in North America, the building boom has slowed.
Instead of big urban centres, new towers tend to be in younger, smaller cities like Mississauga, he said. These building can gives a city a sense of identity while packing a visual punch.
As a result, the jury tries to be “location agnostic”, considering the best work, no matter where it’s from.
“Nobody was making Mississauga jokes,” he said with a laugh.
But the movie-star comparisons certainly don’t hurt. And Yury Gelman, the structural engineer who worked on the buildings, says they’re well deserved.
“It is Marilyn Monroe,” he said, his voice inflected with pride. “It looks like her.”

Canada’s housing market still outshines rest of world


TORONTO — Canadian housing market conditions have cooled slightly, with prices down nearly 2% in the first-quarter, but the country continues to outperform other developed nations, according to a new Scotiabank real estate report.
The latest Scotiabank Global Real Estate Trends report released Wednesday found that the inflation-adjusted national average home price fell by 1.6% in the first quarter of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.
That compared with a 1.3 inflation-adjusted year-over-year gain in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Canada’s housing market remains an outperformer among developed nations, but conditions have cooled here as well, according to Scotiabank economist Adrienne Warren.
“Price trends are relatively steady in the majority of local markets, though a few, notably Toronto, continue to report strong appreciation,” Warren writes in the report, released Wednesday.


Jonathon Rivait/National Post
Demand has cooled due to moderate income growth and tighter mortgage insurance rules. In addition, there are more houses up for sale in most parts of the country.
Scotiabank said it expects the number of sales and average prices will be flat in the latter half of 2012.
By comparison, it found global property markets remain under stress, especially in recession-plagued European countries. Ireland saw prices fall a whopping 18.9% and prices in Spain, which has experienced a housing crash, fell 9.1% year-over-year.
Over the weekend, eurozone finance ministers offered to make $100 billion available to Spain to revive banks crushed by bad real estate loans. However, market reaction suggests many observers didn’t feel the relief was enough.
Most countries covered by the Scotiabank report saw prices decline during the quarter.
“The intensifying eurozone debt crisis, increasing financial market strains and moderating global growth suggests there is more downside risk to property prices in the near-term,” Warren said.
“Eventually, however, improved housing affordability and pent-up demand will put many of these markets on a firmer footing.”
Scotiabank projects that the era of ultra-low borrowing costs will continue in most developed economies, while many developing economies are moving to reverse prior hikes.
The latest figures on Canada’s housing market from the Canadian Real Estate Association are due Friday, measuring the strength of sales and prices in May.
In April, the average home price in Canada was up 0.9% from a year ago at $375,810, while sales on a year-over-year basis were 49,480, up 11.5% from 44,370 a year ago, CREA said.
Continued strength in the housing market, largely due to the staying power of low interest rates, has led some economists to warn the market is overvalued. That could make homeowners vulnerable to a downturn, especially those who have used low interest rates to borrow more than they could otherwise afford.
A report released earlier this week by the Toronto-Dominion banking group projected Vancouver and Toronto home prices will probably experience a downturn of about 15% in two to three years, but not the dramatic drop that hit the United States a few years ago.
The Bank of Canada and federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty recently stepped up their warnings to Canadians to moderate borrowing on real estate, declaring household debt to be the domestic economy’s number one enemy.

Toronto high-rise condo sales slide 59% from last year


Builders call it “stability” in the housing market but sales in Toronto’s high-rise market, which includes the volatile condominium sector, saw a 59% decline in sales from a year ago.
“After a record-breaking sales year in 2011, it would appear that the [greater Toronto area] new housing market is easing back into stability in early 2012,” says the Building Industry and Land Development Association in a release.
How much is it easing? For the first two months of the year RealNet Canada Inc. there were 1,633 high-rise sales compared to 3,348 a year earlier. On the flip side low-rise sales are making a slight comeback. There were 2,818 low-rise sales over the first two months of the year compared to 2,571 a year earlier.
