TOP CONSIDERATIONS FOR 2019:

• If conditions in the energy sector get worse, this could have downside risk on confidence, employment and wages, creating persistent oversupply and steeper-than-expected price declines in the housing market.

• Signs of supply adjustments are present in the market. If the downside risk is averted, then the amount of oversupply should start to ease by the end of the year. • Unless the Canadian economy underperforms, further rate increases are expected in 2019. This will impact housing demand

• If new-home inventories and product under construction do not ease, this will prolong buyers’ market conditions in the housing market.

• Provincial and federal elections could result in changes to government spending, policies and confidence in the market.

• For those considering ownership, further resale price declines can make the resale market more attractive to purchasers compared to new homes.

The challenging economic climate in Calgary is expected to persist into 2019. While there was some evidence of stabilization in the energy sector in early 2018, issues surrounding the price differential of oil, falling global prices, a lack of market access and ability to attract investment are placing current and future growth at risk. The economic impact of recent events is not expected to translate into another recession in 2019. However, it will impact employment opportunities, consumer confidence and the housing market.

On top of energy sector concerns, we are in an environment of stricter lending conditions and higher interest rates. The Canadian economy is growing, supporting further expected gains in interest rates in 2019. Higher rates and stricter requirements come at a time when the Alberta economy still struggles with employment and wages. With further rate increases expected in the second half of 2019 and no significant improvements in the job market, resale sales activity is forecasted to remain low compared to historical standards.

6月份房地产情况---成交量惨淡

成交量惨淡影响着卡尔加里以及周边地区 City of Calgary, July 3, 2018 – 阿尔伯塔省、萨斯卡通省很多和加拿大能源有关的城市在过去几年内房地产市场都一路艰辛,最后价格下滑。近期的贷款政策调整、利率提高又雪上加霜,导致其中的一些城市房地产需求减弱、价格走低。 "经济衰退已经算是过去了,但是高失业率、对于长线经济增长的担忧、增加的贷款成本、以及日趋严格的贷款条件审批等等因素都影响对于房地产市场的需求,"

CREB®首席经济学家Ann-Marie Lurie提到。 "有些房地产产品段新挂牌量没有增加,但是并没有抑制总体供给量的持续增加,最终导致市场仍然是供给量超过需求量的买家市场状态。" 六月份卡尔加里的成交量持续低迷,加在一起民宅总共才售出1,896单元,比2017年同期低11%,比长线均值低了12%。同时,新挂牌量持续攀升,库存可售房源增加,目前房源在市场上的平均月份数是4.7个月。(请记住,良性的市场条件下,房源在市场上的月份在2个月前后。同时卡尔加里又超过5000房地产经纪人,意味着就算每人只成交一套房源,也还有超过一半的经纪人6月份没有成交一套房子,同时很多经纪人成交不只一套房源。我们6月份买卖共4套房源,和大市场情况有些不同,所以关键就是标价精确!!我的一位卖家对我说他/她不知道挂牌的底线在哪里?其实,一套房子的最后成交价格总体上来说是由买家定的,因为人家不出offer的话,卖家的价格就还没有到位,并没有吸引任何买家出手。他/她又说了,我收到offer以后可以议价,可是标价偏高的房源,目前的市场买家根本不屑于给卖家出个offer,最惨的是人家都提不起兴致来看房子,到头来究竟谁损失大?买家们买其它房子了,标价偏高的仍然在市场上挺着/过期了/提前停止挂牌了。。。。。。)

供给量高于成交量导致更多房地产产品段变成买家市场状况,最后价格上不去。整个城市到6月底市场基准价为$436,500,比上个月稍低一点,比去年同期降了1.13%。 独立屋市场的销售量占了6月份总体成交量的60%以上,新挂牌也增加了54%,6月底共有4,817套房源在卖。绝大部分价位段的总体行情是成交量下降、供给增加,但是50万一下的独立屋在售房源量仍然低于前次高峰时期(应该大约在2014年9月份前后。记得很清楚,我当时卖一套Aspen Woods的相当不错的房子,后院朝南,标价相当精确,上市以后马上pending,卖家老婆还后悔一直说挂低了挂低了。。。结果我们卖到峰值了,几个月以后房市大幅下滑。。。卖家收回成本,转战温哥华给孩子读大学买房子了,结果赚得呀。。。)

“在任何市场状况下,相当重要的是买家卖家要有充分的市场认知,以便相应做好计划。买家们应该了解提前拿到贷款确认的步骤、想要购买的社区地段的更新信息。而卖家们也同时应该知道本小区同等类别的房源成交、供给、甚至过期/暂停的信息,因为人家的经历可以帮助卖家们做出更明智的标价决定," CREB®房地产局主席Tom Westcott提到。

Calgary Real Estate Summary - June 2018

Calgary, July 3, 2018–

Many Canadian energy-related municipalities within Alberta and Saskatchewan have seen housing markets struggle over the past few years, resulting in price declines.

The recent mortgage rule changes and higher lending rates are factors weighing on demand and prices across some of those areas.

“While our economy is no longer in a recession, persistently high unemployment rates, concerns over long-term growth, rising lending costs and stricter qualifications are all weighing on the housing demand,” said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie.

“Growth in new listings is starting to ease for some property types, but it is not enough to prevent continued supply growth and, ultimately, an oversupplied housing market.”

Weak sales activity in Calgary continued into June, as residential sales for the month totaled 1,896 units. This is 11 per cent below last year and 12 per cent below long-term averages. New listings continued to rise, with further inventory gains and months of supply now at 4.7 months.

High inventories in comparison to sales have generated more widespread buyers’ market conditions, causing downward pressure on prices. The city-wide benchmark price in June totaled $436,500. This is just below last month and 1.13 per cent below last year’s levels.

The detached segment of the market accounts for over 60 per cent of overall sales activity and makes up over 54 per cent of the inventory, with 4,817 units as of June. While sales have fallen and inventory has been rising across most price ranges, inventory levels for homes priced under $500,000 remain well below peak levels.

“In any market it’s extremely important to be well-informed, whether it’s about the process to get pre-approved for a mortgage or having the most up-to-date information about the prices in the community you are buying or selling in,” said CREB® president Tom Westcott.

HOUSING MARKET FACTS

• Detached sales eased while new listings rose across most districts in the city after the first half of the year, keeping inventories elevated.

• The quarterly average months of supply increase compared to last year across all districts, keeping most areas in buyers’ market territory for the second quarter.

• As of the second quarter, detached benchmark prices totaled $504,033. This is just above the previous quarter, but 0.41% below last year’s levels. North East, North, North West and South districts recorded year-over-year quarterly price declines. However, only the North East district saw prices slip further over level recorded in the first quarter of this year.

• After the first half of the year, apartment sales totaled 1,396 units. This is nearly nine per cent below last year and 24 per cent below long-term averages. Easing sales were met with a decline in listings, helping to limit further growth in inventory levels. As of June, there were 1,872 apartment units in inventory, causing the months of supply to ease, averaging 6.8 months for the quarter.

• While most areas of the city are struggling with oversupply, there does appear to be some improvements. While remaining far from long-term averages, In the second quarter the months of supply edged down over first quarter levels in the city Centre, North, North West, West, South and East districts.

• The easing of the oversupply in most districts helped prevent further declines in quarterly benchmark prices. However, overall second quarter prices remain over three per cent below last year’s levels, and nearly 14 per cent below the quarterly high.

• Year-to-date sales activity fell for both semi-detached and row product across most districts, but new listings remained similar to last year in the row sector, while increasing by 22 per cent for semi-detached property types. This resulted in stronger inventory gains in the semi-detached market and pushed up the quarterly months of supply to above five months

• While row product did not see the same recent increase in inventory, gains in the previous quarters have not eased, causing the second quarter months of supply to total 5.47. This is similar to last quarter and above the second quarter of 2017 figure of 3.66.

• Semi-detached and row benchmark prices averaged $419,000 and $301,833 in the second quarter. Row prices were nearly 2 per cent higher than the previous quarter and nearly three per cent above last year’s levels. Meanwhile, semi-detached prices were similar to the first quarter, but over two per cent below 2017 levels.

• While some easing in the semi-detached market has occurred, quarterly prices are only two per cent below quarterly highs compared to the row sector which remains over 8 per cent below quarterly highs
