2007-2012年加拿大各大城市成交套数、价格对比图
Canadian real estate markets demonstrated remarkable resilience in 2012—with home sales up or on par in 65 per cent of major centres—despite considerable headwinds in terms of tighter financing and economic uncertainty abroad. The trend is expected to continue, with home-buying activity propped-up by low interest rates and an improved economic picture in 2013, according to a report released today by RE/MAX.
Nationally, an estimated 454,000 homes will change hands in 2012, falling one per cent short of the 2011 level of 456,749. Canadian home sales are expected to almost mirror the 2012 performance next year, holding steady at 454,000 units. The average price of a Canadian home is expected to remain stable at $364,000 in 2012—on par with the figure reported in 2011. Values are expected to appreciate nominally in 2013, rising to $366,500, one per cent above year-end 2012 levels.
“Looking forward, there are a number of factors on the horizon that will serve to bolster residential activity in 2013,” says Elton Ash, Regional Executive Vice President, RE/MAX of Western Canada. “Canada’s economic performance is expected to show signs of improvement, particularly in the latter half of the year, which should bode well for housing markets across the country. Historically low interest rates will also continue to drive healthy home-buying activity, especially in the move-up segment. Last, but certainly not least, there’s no denying the universal appeal of bricks and mortar. Canadians believe in homeownership. The stability of real estate over the long-term continues to fuel its appeal.”
The report found that low interest rates were a major impetus in 2012, fuelling sales of homes across the board. Tight inventory levels also factored into the equation early in the year, causing a flurry of activity in many centres. By mid-year, however, the third round of CMHC mortgage tightening had a noticeable impact on housing markets, pushing homeownership beyond the grasp of many first-time buyers.
The RE/MAX Housing Market Outlook Report also identified several regional disparities. Most notable was the pull back in sales activity in Greater Vancouver. A banner 2011 year and a slowdown in investor activity contributed to the trend in 2012. Yet, moderation was more widespread in the east, with half of Ontario and Atlantic Canada markets (8/16) reporting 2012 sales off the 2011 pace. Strength was evident throughout Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Nova Scotia, where exceptionally sound economic fundamentals drove demand. The Prairies also stood out in price appreciation, along with the Atlantic Provinces in 2012, and a repeat is on tap for next year. In 2013, Vancouver will rebound to post the strongest sales gain, while the Quebec markets post the sharpest decrease.
“Despite all the negativity surrounding residential real estate, the sky is not falling,” says Gurinder Sandhu, Executive Vice President and Regional Director, RE/MAX Ontario-Atlantic Canada. “Home sales have moderated, but remain within healthy levels. Greater optimism is expected to return next year, as the economy marks further improvement. Canadians appear to be reigning in their spending, heeding cautionary statements by the country’s financial leaders. We believe that will only serve to shore up the already healthy framework of the Canadian housing market in 2013.”
While first-time buyers will continue to have a significant presence in the overall marketplace, they are expected to take a back seat in 2013 in Canada’s largest markets—with move-up buyers the new engine driving home-buying activity. The greatest advance in home sales is expected in Vancouver (12 per cent), Calgary (10 per cent), Halifax (five per cent), Kingston (4.5 per cent) and Saint John (four per cent). The strongest upward momentum in average price in 2013 is forecast for St. John’s (six per cent), Regina (five per cent), Kingston (4.5 per cent), and Halifax (four per cent), followed by Fredericton and Winnipeg at three per cent. More balanced market conditions are expected in 2013 throughout the majority of markets, with supply meeting demand.
“The long-term outlook for Canadian real estate remains strong,” says Sylvain Dansereau, Executive Vice President, RE/MAX Quebec. “It has proven so in the past, and it will ring true in the years to come. Canada’s major centres are evolving at a tremendous pace and gaining traction on the world stage. As we look forward, our communities will certainly be more vibrant, more sustainable, while our housing mix focuses on density and diversification. The sheer number of developments planned or underway is staggering. We know the market ebbs and flows—that’s cyclical—but the future for real estate remains quite promising.”
Immigration and population growth will continue to support housing demand moving forward. The Canadian government’s commitment to immigration will hold steady, with the country set to welcome as many as 265,000 immigrants in 2013. The greater focus on economic immigrants is already leading to quicker household formation and homeownership than in years past. These two factors will also support the burgeoning condominium segment—along with Canada’s aging population—while the desire for tangible assets props up the upper-end.

2012年11月份卡尔加里房地产市场走势
卡尔加里二手房市场保持平衡态势
Calgary
由于市场上流通房源量不足，买家特别急切看到新挂牌房源，同时买家对于认同房屋价值的房屋出手迅速。尽管如此，我们并没有看到像以往市场过热时期的疯狂状态。现在的买家更加精明了，他们谨慎权衡各种方案，同时也再三自问：这套房子我家能住多少年？因为他们意识到短线房价大涨好像不太可能。
从年初至今的15%的涨幅使得市场更趋于长线发展水平。历经11个月，新挂牌量已经降至6%，流通房源17%的降幅。 每个月的新挂牌房源量始终很低，导致市场基准价从年初至今涨幅5%。
独立屋市场本月售出1,006套，比去年同期涨5%。一般来说，冬季成交量、新挂牌、市场流通房源量都处于较低水平。 目前库存流通房源降至 2,586套，成交量也低于十月水平，使得市场保持均衡。同时独立屋市场基准价保持$433,600，和十月份一样，比去年同期涨8.5%。
11月份共管公寓市场基准价为$248,000, 排屋为$282,800，涨幅均为4%。从年初至今涨幅分别为2%及3%。
尽管全国对于消费者负债率、其它经济发展的担忧不断提高，但是卡尔加里的房地产市场始终不肯息事宁人。这主要源于本市移民人口不断提高，薪资、就业率不断提升有关。
卡尔加里的房地产市场是改善不少，但是并没有到了接下来要么会大涨、要么会大跌的境地。就业率的缓慢增长、信贷政策的调整、以及石油行业发展动向的挑战都可能放缓需求、抑制大涨，又加上新挂牌量的降低、买家需求的调整，都促使房地场市场保持均衡发展。

Calgary leads Alberta home prices
Josh Skapin
Calgary Herald
In all forms of the Battle of Alberta, I fully admit to being a biased Calgarian. Whether it be the sports rivalry or nuances like who has better restaurants or more polite drivers, I’ll turn to the Stampede City 10 times out of 10.
So, it wasn’t a head-scratcher when I saw recent Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. statistics point to a higher average price for single-family homes in Calgary than in our northern counterpart.
What’s worth noting is the widening gap between Alberta’s two biggest cities. In 2009, a few years into the economic downturn, the price difference seemed like pennies.
In fact, if a newcomer to Alberta was on the fence about which city to pick, the cost of a new home likely wouldn’t have made the difference. CMHC says the average price of a single-family home in the Calgary census metropolitan area in 2009 was $547,769. In the Edmonton Census Metropolitan Area, it was $543,243.
Census Metropolitan Area counts neighbouring communities such as Airdrie for Calgary and Sherwood Park for Edmonton.
One year later, the two sides take a bigger step in the opposite direction – where Calgary’s average cost of a single-family home hits $514,466, three hours up the Queen Elizabeth 2 Highway, it tumbles to $490,128. That trend continues and is even more pronounced with CMHC’s estimated closing averages for the two cities in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
If things continue the way CMHC expects, the average cost of a single-family home in Calgary this year will finish at $570,000, while Edmonton’s will be $516,000. CMHC estimates 2013’s prices will be $583,000 in Calgary and only $525,000 in Edmonton. That’s a difference of almost 12 per cent.
CMHC economist Lai Sing Louie says there are a few explanations for the divide. One of the measures CMHC looks at is the new house price index released through Statistics Canada, which tracks the same size of house surrounded by similar amenities in two different periods. That index shows the price of a home in Edmonton is 90.8 per cent of the price it was in 2007, prior to when the economy soured. Calgary is 97.7 per cent of its 2007 price.
“It’s significantly higher,” says Louie. “Calgary has come back more so than Edmonton has since the economic downturn.”
Calgary buyers are also reaching deeper into their pockets for homes than people living in Edmonton. Louie says, despite flat price growth, he’s seen a shift in Calgary buyers putting pen to paper on higher priced homes than people living in Edmonton, adding “that shifted the average higher in Calgary relative to Edmonton.”
“Calgarians like to move-up buy,” says Louie.
“If you look around, there are lots of more expensive homes being bought by people in Calgary.”
As an example, Louie says just look to the trend in the inner-city where builders are knocking down older homes to put up more modern houses surrounded by central amenities. “That’s happening throughout the inner-city,” he adds.
Economic analyst for the Canadian Home Builders’ Association- Alberta Richard Goatcher says you’ll typically see a higher price tag in Calgary because “incomes are higher and buyers can, on average, carry more mortgage debt and therefore can pay more.”
Goatcher suggests land supply may also be an influence.
“In Edmonton, the market is fairly balanced with a good supply in all quadrants,” he says. “Calgary, I believe, has a less-generous supply of new single-detached lots which maybe put more upward pressure on price.”

Canada's economic growth slows to crawl in Q3 at 0.6 per cent: Statscan
OTTAWA — Canada’s economy has hit stall speed with few areas of strong support, setting back any talk of interest rates hikes in the new year and likely restarting calls for more government stimulus.
The economy slumped to 0.6 per cent in the third quarter — below even the gloomy 0.8 consensus and about one third what the Bank of Canada had predicted as recently as the summer — as trouble loomed on the export side, housing and business investment.
In addition, Statistics Canada revised downward the second quarter one notch to 1.7 per cent and September, the last month, was flat, meaning the handoff to the current fourth quarter was weak.
If anything, the details of the report were even bleaker than the bottom-line numbers, given that inventory build-up added to growth, and that consumers — already saddled with record debt levels — contributed 3.8 percentage points.
“Certainly we are seeing strong headwinds. There’s not many cylinders firing at all except for the consumer and we don’t know how long the consumer can continue to carry the load,” said Peter Buchanan, a senior economist with CIBC.
Desjardins Capital Markets economist Jimmy Jean noted that without the inventory build-up of as yet unshipped goods, Canada’s third quarter economy would have fallen into a hole.
There was no talk yet of a technical recession — defined as two consecutive three-month periods of contraction — but Jean said the outlook for the last quarter of 2012 are not good. Given the weak handoff from September, he said the economy would need to work hard to eke out a one per cent advance.
The big shock in the third quarter report was that business investment, which the central bank has been counting on to support the economy, fell two per cent per cent annualized, and residential construction dived 4.4 per cent.
Economists lay the steep housing drop on Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s decision to tighten mortgage rules on July 9, which has taken the steam out of Canada’s previously hot real estate market.
Jean said he believes the decision was still the correct one, although the economy is paying a price now.
“Yes it is affecting the economy and it’s creating a drag, but on a long-term perspective it’s still the better outcome than facing a pure housing market crash and not having done anything about it,” he said.
Economists said the economy’s performance takes any chance of interest rate hikes off the table, likely until 2014.
The federal government is likely to come under pressure to bump up spending, or at least slow down its austerity program, but that is also unlikely barring a far worse outcome in the fourth quarter or early part of 2013.
In a letter to opposition MPs issued Thursday, the finance minister said he was in no mood to receive suggestions that he should increase spending or raise taxes.
“I will continue to stand against costly, new spending initiatives that would increase the size of government and throw Canada off track for balanced budgets,” he said.
The minister was in Victoria on Friday for a round of pre-budget consultations and will almost certainly be asked whether his position has softened.
As expected, net trade also weighed heavily on the economy in the third quarter as exports plunged 7.8 per cent on weak global demand and soft commodity prices.

Solid economic growth forecast for Alberta into 2013
CALGARY — Alberta’s economy continues to lead the pack across a range of indicators and solid growth will persist in 2013, supported by robust oilsands investment, says Scotiabank’s Global Forecast.
The bank is forecasting the province will lead Canadian economic growth with 3.4 per cent this year followed by 3.0 per cent in 2013.
Employment growth of 3.1 per cent this year and 1.7 per cent in 2013 will also be the best in the country, according to the report.
Warren Jestin, senior vice-president and chief economist with Scotiabank, is in Calgary this week presenting his outlook on the economy.
On Tuesday, Jestin will be discussing the economy at an economic outlook put on by the Calgary Chamber of Commerce. Then on Wednesday, he will be making a presentation on the economy at the annual Calgary Real Estate Forum.
“Well certainly there should be more smiles in Alberta than almost any other place in the country,” said Jestin on Monday.
“Much of that is driven by the ongoing infrastructural projects. We’ve now got demographics that are very, very favourable here.”
“Infrastructural investments remain strong and in fact I think Alberta’s growth may well be supply constrained. You just don’t have the skills or the infrastructure in order to push it ahead as fas as it otherwise would be. For this year, next year and probably into 2014 the odds are very, very strong that Alberta will lead the pack by a very substantial margin.”
Despite some global issues, economic growth in places like China, is good news for Alberta and “amazingly supportive for the commodities sector,” added Jestin.
While Alberta’s economy continues to be a shining light, concerns remain about the global situation which continues to underperform, said the Scotiabank report.
“First, recessionary conditions in the eurozone persist, reinforced by intensifying fiscal austerity and rising unemployment. Weakness is becoming more evident in the larger economies ... Second, U.S. business activity is being undermined by the intensifying problems around the world ... Third, the sharper-than-expected slowdowns in the faster-growing emerging economies of China, India and Brazil have yet to bottom out,” said the report.
“And fourth, even countries with better underlying fundamentals such as Canada, Australia, South Korea, and many of the core members of the eurozone, are being side-swiped by the fallout from reduced global demand.”
Meanwhile, the Conference Board of Canada said Monday that Canada’s domestic economy has softened and its major trade partners are too weak to pick up the slack, limiting growth in GDP to less than two per cent this year.
Canada’s real GDP growth will slow to 1.8 per cent this year, while growth of 2.3 per cent is forecast in 2013, said the board’s Canadian Outlook, Autumn 2012. If a further European sovereign debt crisis can be avoided, or at least contained — and if the U.S. begins to address its fiscal deficit seriously – Canada’s economy is expected to achieve growth of 2.6 per cent in 2014, it said.

“The influence of a grim global environment, coupled with a heavy dose of fiscal restraint, will result in Canada’s economy muddling along through the rest of this year and into 2013,” said Pedro Antunes, Director, National and Provincial Forecast.
“The swift post-recession rebound that occurred in 2010 and 2011, driven by a strong domestic economy, has mostly expired through the first half of this year. Recurring crises stemming from the eurozone, along with some false starts from the U.S. economy, have eroded consumer confidence and slowed business investment and job creation.”

中海油收购NEXEN 的最新进展
2012年11月20日消息，寻求151亿美元收购Nexen计划获批准的中海油，已接受加拿大政府提出的管理和雇佣方面的条件。
加拿大政府谈判人员接受了很多阿尔伯塔省省长雷德福(Alison Redford)上月所提要求，包括承诺至少50%的Nexen董事会席位和管理职位由加拿大人占据。一位消息人士称，仍有一些商业问题正在协商中，如资本支出要求的范围和中海油国有企业地位相关的一些其它事宜。
Nexen股价上周飙升7%，为中海油7月提出收购要约以来最大周度涨幅，这显示投资者对协议获得加拿大政府批准愈发乐观。
加拿大国家银行金融集团石油和天然气分析师Kyle Preston称，加拿大总理和联邦内阁部长近期的声明提供了积极的暗示，即中海油收购Nexen的交易很快将被批准，马来西亚国有能源公司收购Progress的计划也如此。
Preston接受电话采访时称：“我认为交易接近获得批准。政府正在考虑中海油和Nexen、Progress和Petronas两个收购交易，我认为看上去政府将同时做出两个决定，并列出新交易框架的内容。

回收房/拍卖房是否该买？ 购买时要注意些什么？
银行拍卖房都是源于断供的贷款：当贷款人无法在三个月，或者半年内补齐曾经所欠的本加利贷款，以及各种费用和罚款，那么银行有权把房屋的产权转移到银行名下，并且把房子腾空房主扫地出门，同时把物业挂牌销售。
---为什么回收房会比正常出售的房子便宜？
当银行把物业的产权转移到自己名下的时候，银行最不想手中有代售的物业。首先，代售的物业需要支付地税、水电暖气（冬天物业不可以把暖气停掉，否则温度过低把水管冻爆，等暖气恢复会在屋内造成水灾，造成严重损失），以及各种各样的物业管理费（包括安排专人去照看物业的安全，提供打扫，装修，以及为需要进入物业的各种要求提供服务），而这些费用都是以天计。房屋在银行手中时间越长，损失就越大，所以银行希望手中的物业以最快的速度出售。

另外，银行、金融机构、法院等等不会出具RPR（Real Property Report）给新业主。但是你早晚有一天出售此屋宇时，就得花费$600-800来雇公司测量出具RPR给你的买家。
还有就是一些物业家电不全，或者齐全也不管好不好用，会产生维修费用。以及很多业主临走仓皇逃窜之前对物业造成不同程度的损坏。毕竟辛辛苦苦供养过的房子，一下没了。心痛啊！
---但为什么拍卖房的价格有时并不便宜？
最主要的原因是大部分拍卖房都是有CMHC （按揭保险公司）做保险的，也就是说，当银行卖不到贷款额度的时候，那么差价要有CMHC支付给银行，CMHC 当然要求银行首先标出市场价，如果证实无人问君时，价格会自然降下来。所以掌握时机极其重要。
---买银行回收房要要注意的问题
“AS IS”—房屋状况银行完全不负责！
大部分银行要求买方使用银行内部的售房合同，同普通的合同有极大的不同，或附有 （Schedule A ）好多卖方应付责任的条款都被删除。所以如果买到手后发现有严重问题，后患无穷。
--- Offer
市场销售的过程和一般的房屋买卖大体相同，买家通过经纪出offer给卖家经纪，卖家经纪将offer交给放贷人的律师，律师可代放贷人讨价还价，双方价格一致后，律师接受offer。 这只需要2-3个工作日就能谈判完毕。
但是，对于法院的拍卖房，则是卖方律师受到第一份OFFER后，看价格情况定一下是否需要向法院申请受理购买意向，如果价格不到位，也许出OFFER的买家经纪是得不到法庭受理具体日期的。如果接到卖家代理回复的受理日期，也会因为一般要3-4周之后，所以在最后法庭的批准前，卖家经纪很大程度上会受到几份OFFER呢。我作为卖家经纪，代理的法院拍卖房，都收到多家OFFER，20天之内肯定收到第一份OFFER，50天前后彻底售出/firm sale。 总之，法院拍卖房价格好，但是因为受理期限长，不定因素很多，买家花费心血多些。另外，你出OFFER等候的近一个月期间，你是套牢的，不能出OFFER给其它的物业，两套你都拿下了，怎么办？：）
重要的一点忘说了，银行拍卖房，你还是可能在购买合同中出条件的，但是法院拍卖房，你是加不了条件的，你敢和法官讨个说法啊？！
---几点建议
购房前，对区域及价格一定要十分了解，要找一位有经验的地产经纪，帮你综合分析价格是否合理，或要求在出offer 之前做Property Inspection，这样多家抢OFFER时，你的条件少些，还是好事。

市中心西线LRT 2012年12月10日通车！！！
恭喜住在West Hills的同胞们，LRT终于要通车了。CBC news 报道如下：
The west leg of the LRT will be open for business in Calgary on Dec. 10.
The city says this date meets the original start of service promised back in 2009.
“We want to provide all Calgarians with the opportunity to make Calgary Transit their preferred transportation option and this project is a major step towards that goal,” said general manager of transportation Mac Logan.
Officials estimate more than 30,000 people will be using the new LRT run, which includes six new LRT stations along more than eight kilometres of track.
Construction on the project began in February 2010.
Completing the project involved major roadway upgrades, construction of a new interchange and moving a high school.
“This project required a great deal of expertise and co-ordination — its success speaks volumes about the hard work and dedication of everyone involved,” said Logan.

Accountancy firm bullish on Calgary and Edmonton real estate
FROM 660news.com
Mediocre is the new good when it comes to real estate gains. At least, that's the take of the 2013 Emerging Trends In Real Estate forecast from PricewaterhouseCoopers and the Urban Land Institute.
PWC's Lori Beausoleil tells 660News the real estate business has cooled off, but as a country we're in much better shape than many others.
"So I think with a mediocre, when you look at, it's relative to the trends that we have seen historically," says Beausoleil. "But when you look at where we are positioned, versus the rest of the world, it's an A-plus."
Sorry Toronto and Vancouver, but your days at the top of the Canadian real estate heap are coming to an end, according to Beausoleil. Those two major Canadian cities will be replaced at the top of the charts by Calgary and Edmonton, thanks to Alberta's energy riches. But there is a silver lining to that dark cloud for our cousins in the east and on the west coast.
"For us in Toronto, we actually benefit from that as well because of all the engineering and all those types of jobs and needs that you have," adds Beausoleil. "You know, some of that money does come east. But definitely from a real estate perspective, Calgary and Edmonton's on fire."
