2014年四月份房地产统计


价格走高、刺激房主挂牌卖房

------整个城市新挂牌房源全面提升

Calgary, 五月一日, 2014  

新年伊始市场还是比较缓慢的,现在天气转暖,价格的提升支撑了新挂牌量的增长。四月份民宅新挂牌共3,754套,比2013年同期增长8%。同时,成交2,545 套,比去年同期增长7%

进入2014年以来,公寓市场新挂牌量明显增长,可是独立屋市场直到四月份以前,新挂牌量一直减低。很多独立屋房主一直等着价格的上涨,伺机在春天的市场上挂牌。

本月份独立屋共售出1,736套,比去年同期涨8%,年初至今累计比去年涨了9%。与此同时,新挂牌量为2,584套,比去年四月份超出7.45。因为新挂牌量超出成交量,可选在售房源相对增多,缓解了紧张的市场,但是并不足以缓冲市场到相对均衡的态势。

春天的新挂牌量如我们的预期增加了,可是部分市场还是会保持供需吃紧态势。独立屋市场40万以内的新上市房源持续走低,四月份新挂牌量的增长主要在50-100万之间。

四月份共管公寓共售出449单元,前四个月共售出1511单元。比去年同期增长4.7%,主要源于11.2%的新上市房源的增加。 导致在售可选房源共898单元,比去年同期高出了3%。也是共管公寓、排屋、独立屋所有房源中唯一可选房源增加的部分。而共管公寓新上市房源增加的其中一个原因就是很多楼花、刚交房的屋主进入市场了。

改善的市场部分仍然是个好消息。很多买家向进入市场,但是没有太多房源可选、挑战太多。目前还是春天市场的开始,如果更多房源持续上市,将会给那些还没有买到房子的买家提供更多选择。

本月所有房屋产品全面价格增长,独立屋市场基准价仍保持在$496,700,比2013年同期涨了9.67%,比今年三月份小涨1.24% 价格的涨幅仍然超过了预期,增长的步伐稍微放缓了一些。

同时共管公寓和排屋市场基准价也保持不变,分别为$291,700 以及 $316,700。尽管与去年同期相比价格增长分别为11.6%9.6 %,但是仍然低于2007年峰值水平。

就业率、移民人口的增长支撑了房地产市场,市场价格仍然保持不变(没有调低)、有的产品段还刚刚恢复回来。不足为奇,二手房市场的供给力度还是不够。伴随着价格的不断调高、贷款利率的持续保持现有水平,预计新挂牌量会增加,从而缓冲紧张的市场。

Timing Considerations When Buying Or Building Commercial Property In Calgary

When deciding between buying an existing property or building a new space for your business, the first questions you need to ask are about timing. While anticipating the timeframes may sound like common sense, even seasoned buyers and builders can get caught off guard by the process and timelines involved in purchasing and developing property in a new location. Here are a few questions to consider so your next project stays on time and on budget.


How Long are You Prepared to Research a Building Before Buying?

If you have your eye on an existing building, consider the amount of time you will want to "kick the tires" of your new space and the extent of the due diligence you will want to conduct before entering into any negotiations or agreements with the seller. The more you know about a property, the more comfortable you will be with negotiating the deal. Be sure to give yourself (and your lawyer) ample time to complete any searches, inspections or other inquiries you will need to feel confident on closing day.

What are the Local Timelines for Commercial Development?

Similarly, if you are looking to redevelop a property or build new, do your research and understand the various stages and timelines involved in designing, receiving development and building approval for, and constructing a commercial development in your area. Different municipalities will have different processing times for permits and approvals. Different building sites – even within the same area – can present remarkably different and unexpected challenges. Don't assume the timeframes you used on your last project will work for your current one. And, as with any construction project, remember that flexibility is vital. Know what your timeframes should be, but always build in a buffer to be able to take those inevitable hiccups and holdups in stride.

Will you be Complying with the Current Land Use Designation?

Finally, whether you are buying or building, be sure to consider whether your proposed use for the land will comply with the current land use designation in your municipality. If it doesn't, be aware that the timeframes for these approvals can range from a few months to over a year. Address this issue early and have a contingency plan.

Guide to Timing the Purchase or Development of Commercial Property in Calgary

The following infographic sets out some of the approximate timeframes associated with various stages of buying and/or building a property in Calgary. Some of the stages listed below will be concurrent or may not be required, and again, because all projects are unique, these timeframes will vary depending on a number of site, deal-specific and administrative factors and are provided only as rough guide and are subject to change. As always, your best bet is to talk to your lawyer when considering buying or building your new space and work together to ensure your concerns are addressed and goals are met.
