Karen Guy, REALTOR® ~ TD Special Report: Moderation In Store For The Canadian Housing Market

Highlights from the report!

•    Relative to where they sat in 2011 Q1, national resale activity and average prices are projected to decline by 15.2% and 10.2% respectively over the next two years.
 
•    Restrained economic growth, higher interest rates, new mortgage borrowing rules and eroding home affordability help support our call for more moderate housing activity.
 
•    Fewer new home buyers and reduced investor appetite should also simmer new and resale condo activity.
 
•    In addition to our national perspective, we provide an in-depth overview of twelve major markets within this paper.
 
•    Over 2011-13, Calgary, Edmonton and Regina housing markets are set to lead the way.  Still, the term “leader” is relative as no market is slated to experience a boom over our forecast.  We simply have these regions doing better than the rest.
 
•    Given their recent run-up in activity, new condo supply and only subdued economic growth forecast, Toronto and Vancouver are expected to see a larger-than-average correction in both sales and prices relative to other regions.
