卡尔加里成加国最热房产投资市场

据普华永道公司(PricewaterhuseCoopers,即PwC)与城市土地学会(Urban Land Institute)联合发布的最新报告显示,卡尔加里与埃德蒙顿这两个位于阿尔伯塔省的城市已经取代多伦多与温哥华,成为加拿大最热的房地产投资市场。

该报告表示,2013年,投资者将更加青睐公寓和办公楼市场,而开发商则集中在零售市场。
这份报告反映了来自加拿大、美国和拉丁美洲的900多位受访者的观点,该报告表示“相对于其他国家来讲,加拿大表现非常良好”,这也似乎成为整个国家的主题。

该报告表示,预计加拿大房地产市场将保持平稳,2013年多数房地产市场将保持“适度良好”(modestly good)的投资与发展前景,房地产市场供给与需求将保持稳定。就全国而言,卡尔加里是位列头名的城市,其次是埃德蒙顿、多伦多、温哥华与渥太华。
 
该调查报告显示,在投资与发展前景中,卡尔加里均位列第一位,而在住宅建设前景中,位列第二位。“增长将成为卡尔加里未来发展的特征。2013年,卡尔加里将取代多伦多,成为加国顶级的房地产投资城市,这就使得在卡尔加里获得高质量的房地产更加困难,”该报告表示,“优质房地产项目的吸收率达到了历史最高水平,同时由于供应有限,租金也跟着水涨船高。2013年将持续这种趋势,尤其是在办公室和工业空间领域。住宅和非住宅领域的建设活动都将增加,但是应该依然低于危机之前的水平。”

在此次调查的参与者看来,相对于该报告研究的其他地区,尤其是美国的不稳定市场而言,加拿大房地产市场似乎将保持永久的平衡状态。“加拿大房地产业内人士都理解房地产市场的基本面,并且知道如何应对货币政策和资本市场的波动。尽管国内外经济存在诸多不确定性,但是加拿大房地产业依然运营良好,”普华永道公司加拿大房地产部门领导人Lori-Ann Beausoleil表示。

该报告还表示,卡尔加里扩张的经济需求大量的、高技能的劳动力。预计明年就业率将增长2.8%,2014年继续增长2.9%,就业率的增长主要受石油和天然气行业的驱动。 此外,该报告还表示,目前还存在争议的输往美国和卑诗省(British Columbia)的石油管道项目若获得审批,也将进一步刺激卡尔加里的房地产建设活动。
 
卡尔加里的住宅市场和非住宅市场表现都非常强劲。此外,据加拿大抵押和住房公司(Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation,即CMHC)预测,今年,卡尔加里大都会区房屋竣工量将为12,400套,比2011年上涨33%,达到2007年以来的最高水平;仲量联行公司(Jones Lang LaSalle)报告表示,卡尔加里市中心将出现办公楼开发热潮。

加拿大房地产投资网络公司(Real Estate Investment Network Ltd)最近表示,今年前9个月,卡尔加里商业房地产总交易量为33.94亿元,达到历史次高水平。该公司评估报告表示,“经过几年过山车似的发展后,卡尔加里趋于平稳。就业岗位的增长以及办公楼空置率的大幅下滑都表明卡尔加里短期的衰退已经结束。2011年GDP增长率达到3%,并且是全国失业率最低的地方之一,这些都让卡尔加里成为北美房地产投资者的首选地点之一。如果你将经济基本面、人口增长率以及该省蓬勃发展的经济这些因素综合考虑在内,就不难理解为什么许多企业和人口都来到卡尔加里定居了。”

“由于房租上涨,房屋平均销售价格较高,住房可负担性对于卡尔加里也将是一个问题。但是如果你将房价与平均收入进行对比会发现,加拿大其他城市在这方面的问题更大。卡尔加里的经济可以支持房地产市场长期强劲发展,而其他城市则不能。”
