Housing prices hold steady in surrounding areas

April 17, 2015 from CREB


Slower economic activity influenced demand across the region in the first quarter of 2015. However, despite rising inventory levels, housing prices in Calgary’s surrounding areas remained relatively stable, said CREB®’s latest Surrounding Area Quarterly report.


“A lack of recovery in oil has many concerned about their employment status and these concerns have been impacting consumer confidence in the first quarter,” said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie. “However, on aggregate, surrounding area prices have posted some quarterly growth as some of these areas have not recorded the same level of pull-back in sales relative to inventory levels.”


Unadjusted benchmark prices for residential properties in the surrounding areas were nearly one per cent above average levels recorded in the previous quarter and 8.4 per cent above levels recorded in the first quarter of 2014. City of Calgary prices have started to retract, but it is important to note that total residential benchmark prices in Calgary recovered from 2007 highs in 2013. In surrounding areas, prices only surpassed previous highs last year.


Residential sales in surrounding areas totaled 911 units in the first quarter of 2015, a 22.7 percent decline compared to the same time last year. Meanwhile, new listings increased by 11.6 per cent and inventories averaged 1,715 for the quarter, pushing the quarterly average months of inventory to 5.65.
“With improved first quarter supply in both the city of Calgary and the surrounding areas, consumers will definitely have more housing options,” said CREB® president Corinne Lyall. “Each of the surrounding areas has their own unique dynamic, so it’s really important to consider the community and specific segment of the market that you are buying or selling in when making any real estate decisions.”

Sales in Airdrie totaled 302 units in the first quarter of 2015, a 10.1 per cent decline relative to the same time last year. Over the same period, benchmark prices in Airdrie continued to increase in the first quarter. In fact, quarterly detached prices averaged $397,867 in the first quarter, which amounts to a 0.24 per cent increase over the previous quarter and a year-over-year increase of 8.4 per cent.
Cochrane had a similar experience where quarterly detached prices averaged $445,033 in the first quarter, a 2.6 per cent increase over the previous quarter and a year-over-year increase of 12.5 per cent. Meanwhile, first quarter sales totaled 116 units at the end of March, a 35 per cent decline over the same time last year.


“Cochrane’s resale sector often has a different dynamic than some of the other surrounding areas as there is a larger share of new home sales representing total sales activity,” said Lurie. “After the first
quarter, new home sales activity represented nearly 20 per cent of total sales in Cochrane, compared to 10 per cent in Airdrie and five per cent in Okotoks.”


In Okotoks, detached benchmark prices averaged $453,567 in the first quarter of this year, a 1.23 per cent increase relative to the fourth quarter of 2014 and 6.98 per cent higher than the first quarter of 2014. During this period, Okotoks sales activity totaled 117 units, a 21.5 per cent decline compared to last year. Relative to Airdrie and Cochrane, detached properties make up the largest share of sales in Okotoks.

卡尔加里三月份民宅市场

库存可售 房源增加,影响房屋价格
---第一季度房地产销售活动反映了经济的不确定性
 
过去的三个月来逐步增加的库存可售房源以及低成交率导致卡尔加里三月份民宅市场基准价小幅下调0.44%,停在$454,300。基于前三个月市场数据统计,市场已经倾斜为买价市场!!

2014年第四季度相比,2015年第一季度价格下调了0.59%。售出房源/新挂牌房源比率大副下降了41%-近一半啊:(。第一季度供给房源在市场上的月份长度为4.03个月。这和2014年第一季度新挂牌房源短缺、价格上扬完全是不同的故事了,相当大的改变。

基于目前市场销售活动、供给提升的状况,我们并不惊讶的看到价格的调整。然而短期的价格调整并没有完全抵消去年超过预期的价格涨幅记录。在新上市房源温和上涨的情况下,价格的未来长线均值将更加依赖于库存可售房源数量(干脆就直接说,关键看能够卖出多少套房子)。

和去年三月份相比,成交量大副下降了30%,低于长线均值水平。整个城市前三个月共售出3,843套房子。

在目前的市场状况下,买卖双方应该明确各自的短期、长期目标,这样才能尽量作出今天+明天的正确决定。(让我个人分析分析,就是失业的卖家如果不卖房子的话,家里储蓄还能够撑多久?对于并不需要马上房子的卖家来说,未来几个月/年内,你又能够以什么样的价格预期卖出房子?而对于目前租房子买家来说,未来几个月价格的降幅以及租金总额相比较,哪头更大??对于小换大/大换小的买家来说,什么时候出手应该差不了太大差别,取决于买卖的房源特性。投资客买卖家,个案个说。记得美国知名投资家Warren Buffett曾说过:“buy when everyone else is selling, and don’t buy when everyone else is buying)。

在卡尔加里二手房市场第一季度已经展示为买家市场时,近期新挂牌房源的回调帮助抑制了库存可售房源的增长,导致了还算不错的房源消化率。

本月公寓产品段售出前需要在市场上的月份到达最高,导致了同独立屋、连体屋相比季度价格降幅挺高。(这里大家要注意了,从310日起卡尔加里房地产局启用新的数据系统。不会再讲什么独立屋、排屋、共管公寓了,而是起用独立屋/detached、连体房/ attached以及公寓三大块 )。截至三月底,公寓市场基准价和去年第四季度相比降了1.46%。而同期独立屋和连体屋只不过降了0.4 %。这里连体屋包括全部房屋和邻居有中间那堵墙的房子。

纵观整个城市的房屋供给,878套在30万以下,其中99%是公寓、连体屋。总的库存房源降的最多的是30-60万的价格区间,56%是独立屋。(直白点儿说,就是30-60万的房子卖得最快!)目前有1,933套可售房源是60万以上的,占独立屋可售房源的72%。(大家要会看报告,也就是60万以下的买家还是众多的,就算价格降一些,降幅是有区别的。所以这个价位以下的买家要自己拿主意,家里购房计划怎么打算的。也同时意味着60万以上要价的卖家更加紧张,因为可售房源竞争大。对于这部分卖家而言,房价稍微下调下调,对他们来说就是几千/几万啊。
