西北区 Brentwood 历史销售价格走势




这只是给大家一个感觉,Brentwood的价位走势情况,但是由于个别月份只有一、两套房源售出,或者仅有的售出的几套房子中,有几套恰巧是高价位的,所以还是有一点偏差的。

另外,仔细看看2007年的价位段,以及2012-2013走势,很多月份达到并高于2007年峰值时期价格。

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
---挂牌房源持续降低,但是继续增长的售出房源使得市场保持均衡发展
Calgary, 十二月三日, 2012从年初至今,民宅销售增长了15%,比去年同期涨8%. 

销售连续8个月两位数字增长,使得市场上的在售房源降低,也源于新挂牌房源量没有相对跟
上。然而,售出/流通房源比率显示房地产市场保持均衡发展态势。

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%

历经11个月,共管公寓市场、排屋市场与2011年相比销售涨幅分别为11%17%。共管公
市场2012年总体来说保持均衡发展态势,历经2011年不停往低调整后,现在终于有了小幅
格增长。

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%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。

价格增长比预期的还要高,尤其是独立屋市场。但是买家还是敏感的,要么他们得把钱花到
周边配套设施齐全的设区房子上,要么干脆退一步去公寓市场买套先说。

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.”

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。

Calgary is the Wealthiest in Canada

Calgary Leads Toronto and Vancouver as Wealthiest in Canada


Another great study out this week shows Calgarians are actually the wealthiest in the country. High net worth Calgarians, those with at least $500,000 in net worth average $3.3 Million versus only $2.2 Million for Toronto and $2.1 Million for Vancouver.

Calgary has also has more millionaires per capita than anywhere else in Canada and more head offices per capita than anywhere else in Canada.

Alberta has been North America;s job leader over the last 10 years and Calgary both migration and income growth has been Canadian best over the last several years.

Year to date luxury home sales over $1 Million have already surpassed the previous record set in 2007 of 459 and we still have November and December to go.

Calgary is a global business hub and was ranked the 5th best city to live in the world the last 5 years running. If you are thinking about moving to Calgary, the city is clean, safe and is a great place to raise a family.

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.

The Future Southeast LRT Line

The Future Southeast LRT Line is not expected to be built for 20 to 30 years. The new residential areas in the Southeast area of Calgary are still growing and have not reached a minimum threshold for the LRT line.

The study on the north section of the line has been recently completed. Calgary City Council will decide on the alignment soon. The alignment would run from the Elbow River by the CPR tracks continuing along the west side of CPR and CNR tracks southward until Ogden Road where it would rejoin the CPR tracks until Glenmore Trail.

The Calgary Transit 20 Year Capital Plan (revised February 2004) has now listed the Southeast LRT line in its plans. Construction is to begin in 2019 and be completed to Douglasdale in 2023. The project is not funded and will cost an estimated $549 million.


Six stations on the North end have been planned:
Ramsay/Inglewood
Located: 11th Avenue SE at 10th Street SE
Blackfoot
Located: 26th Avenue SE at 11th Street SE near Blackfoot Trail SE
Highfield/Bonnybrook
Located: Highfield Blvd. SE near Ogden Road SE
Lynnwood
Located: West of Ogden Road SE, North of Lynnwood community
Millican/Ogden
Located: West of Ogden Road SE at 68th Avenue SE
Glenmore
Located: South of Glenmore Trail

Right-of-way has been protected for the second phase of the future line from Glenmore Trail through to McKenzie Towne.

Four stations on the South end have been planned:
Douglasdale (Douglas Glen)
Located: 114th Avenue SE, East of 24th Street SE
Shepard
Located: North side of 130th Avenue SE, West of Barlow Trail SE
New Brighton
Located: 52nd Street SE, South of 130th Avenue SE
McKenzie
Located: 52nd Street SE, South of McKenzie Towne Blvd.
The line will eventually extend south of Highway 22X to a station close to a future Hospital site at 196th Avenue SE.

卡尔加里房屋入冬前的准备

卡尔加里的冬天来得时早时晚,作为屋主,提早做些准备工作是很必要的。下面是十几条小提醒,提早动手,以免太晚了。


检查热气容易逃窜之处,好好给房子保暖

1 – 里里外外检查房子,看看哪些地方有裂痕漏风之处,赶快补上。如果你不确定最佳处理办法,可以排上照片,带着照片去附近的Home Depot问询建议。

2 – 如果你觉得往年冬天室温太低,也许你可以添加一层保温膜。但是你要特别注意,新添加的这层一定保证湿气扩散,要不然湿气累积,墙体会发霉。

3 – 也可以给玻璃上加层塑料薄膜,你可以在RONAHome Depot 找到Insulator kits,价廉物美。 要是还不够的话,嘿嘿,你可以在塑料薄膜上贴上bubble wrap

保养锅炉

4 – 要是首次启动锅炉有异味产生,关闭锅炉,找个专家前来查看查看。

5 – 每年找个锅炉专家检测、清洗一次总是有备无患的,这样你的锅炉可以维持更长久。

6 – 按照过滤膜的规格,提前购买几个过滤膜,定期更换/1-2个月换一次即可。太脏的过滤膜,因为热气穿透力差,所以效率低。

清理屋檐槽/eave trough

7 – 小心使用梯子,总之你得站得靠近屋顶,用笤帚或者用手/戴上手套,将屋檐槽内的落叶等垃圾清理干净,要是能用水冲洗得话最好了。

8 – 要是排雨管堵了,积雪在屋檐槽融化后会形成冰溜滴水,对地基、窗户台甚至房屋内部都产生恶劣影响。

9 – 同时排雨管末端也要尽可能远离房屋地基。

防冻措施

10 – 一定要知道房屋水源总控制阀在哪里,预防紧急情况发生。要是你离家有段时间,把室温设置提高一点。同时,查看保险公司条例,看看多久房屋得有人前来查看,要不然万一因天气有关导致的保险,保险公司可能会拒绝索赔。

11 – 如果有空调的话,得将水放干。要是空调有水阀的话,请关闭。同时关闭任何连接室外的水阀屋内开关,打开室外阀门,将水放干。

12 – 要是房屋室外有暴露的水管设施,最好包上保温膜,防止冻裂。

防冬设备

13 – 更新破损雪铲、笤帚,准备冰刀清理人行道、车库前的积冰还是有必要的。      注意:购买高质量的雪铲,缓解腰部疲劳、轻松铲雪还是值得的。

14 – 储备几袋沙子、化冰用品,可以撒在门前人行步道上。

15 – 要是你得在户外停车的话,可以考虑买个汽车发动器/starter

准备最差的状况

16 – 在目前绝大部分社区使用供电能源的情况下,适当储备打火机、火柴、蜡烛,预防短期停电还是有必要的。也可以考虑安装用电后备装置,防止丢失重要的、没来得及储存的电子文档或者其它敏感电子设备。

17 – 将供电/水、供气服务商联系电话记到方便地方,以备急用。

18 – 储备些不宜腐烂的食物、用水,还有急救箱/first-aid kit,毯子。至少有个紧急疏散的计划,如果特殊情况发生。

卡尔加里近市中心Infill房屋 – 独立屋 vs 连体屋


卡尔加里近市中心Infill房屋  独立屋 vs 连体屋

准备居住靠近市中心新房子的房主们总是会面临两大抉择,选独立屋呢?还是连体房屋?
(上图为一套West Hillhurst在售的1992年建成的独立屋,还是这三个社区最便宜的呢,挂牌价$699,999)


最明显的区别大家都知道,那就是独立屋中间没有共享的那堵墙。普通的连体屋建筑在50英尺的地块上,所以如果你看到的连体屋DUPLEX占地比这个宽,那就是个好地块。

有时建筑商在50英尺/15.24米的地块上建造2个独立屋,房屋一般宽17英尺。所以,设计方案、建筑格局很重要。但是在50英尺的地块上建造的DUPLEX,就有21英尺宽,提供更舒适的生活空间。

买家购买独立屋,还是连体屋?很大程度上取决了购买预算。
