Condo prices expected to jump in major Canadian markets

A new study by Genworth Canada and the Conference Board of Canada says first-time buyers, retirees and population growth will continue to fuel demand and price growth in condo markets in Canadian cities over the next few years.

The report looked at eight major metropolitan areas and noted that rising prices for single detached homes are encouraging first-time buyers to look at condos as an option, while retirees “remain heavy condominium consumers.” Further demographic support in the coming years will be provided by an aging population.

The report also cited continued low interest rates and employment growth as factors supporting the condo and housing market.

Genworth is a Canadian mortgage insurer based in Oakville, Ontario.

Here are a few more interesting factoids included in their report:

• Absorption of new condos is forecast to fall only in Edmonton in 2012 while small increases are expected in Quebec City and Ottawa
• Calgary absorptions are expected to more than double, but will remain below their boom-era level pre-recession
• Unsold inventories in Toronto will stay below early 1990s levels and are expected to ease by 2013
• Vancouver is the least affordable city in Canada while Calgary is the most affordable when analyzed relative to local incomes
• In Toronto by 2013, the average resale condo price is expected to be $312,352, up by 2.5 per cent
• Vancouver condo resale prices are expected to drop 2 per cent to $348,152

Many of the report’s predictions run contrary to warning issued by some experts and government officials about the Canadian housing market and some specific “overheated” markets.

“This data corroborates our view that the demand for condos in Canada, particularly at the price-point we insure, is well supported by our economy and our population,” said Brian Hurley, chairman and CEO of Genworth Canada in a press release. “For those seeking to own a home affordably in urban centres, condos remain a good option.”  Source: Buzzbuzzhomes

We’ve unveiled our GlucksteinHome decorated model home. Come for inspiration, to view finishes and see unique upgrades and decor trends from one of the best designers in the business. A limited selection of freehold townhomes and 47-foot lots are available so come early for your chance to own in this inspired community! 

Situated within minutes of Highway 407, Timberbank Manors will be the quintessential new home neighbourhood in an established area of Brampton. Offering a wide selection of towns and singles, this community fills the wish list for many families looking for that ideal setting and location.

Remington Homes has given careful consideration in the planning of the neighbourhood, as well as the crucial design components new home buyers are looking for.

Singles range in size from 2,018 to 3,688 square feet on 32-, 38- and 47-foot lots. Brick and stone exteriors augment pleasing streetscapes and all singles feature a double-car garage.

Inside, thoughtful layouts and features capture the all-important elements desire by many. Select designs feature an island with a breakfast bar, a server and walk-in pantry or consider a model with a private den, or perhaps one that has two master bedrooms that include a second master ensuite. Most master ensuites include a make-up counter, double sinks, an oval tub and separate shower enclosure, and additional bedrooms feature shared washrooms, as per plan. Storage space is optimum; and some plans include a mudroom off the garage.

Townhomes with welcoming front porches are spacious with floorplans ranging in size from 1,500 to 1,850 square feet. Four-bedroom-plus plans are available, as are designs with the laundry room on the first or second level.

From Day Care Centres to private, Catholic, public and post-secondary schools – all are located in the surrounding area of the neighbourhood. Shopping and public transportation are easily accessible and Highway 407 and 401 are close by. Recreational opportunities abound with many parks and golf courses, including the Eldorado Park, the Chris Gibson’s Recreation Complex and the Lionhead Golf & Country Club.

KingsClub Condos

Kings Club Condos will be located at the juncture of King Street West and the rail line, filling in a relatively vacant, awkwardly-shaped lot. It proposed four buildings as high as 19 stories, comprising 638 suites and a significant retail component.

KingsClub Condos will become the latest condo residence in a neighbourhood that has experienced phenomenal growth in the last few years. Once a purely industrial area, Liberty Village has become a hot pick for young artists, professionals, shoppers and foodies as the gentrification of hardcore urban Toronto pushes ever outward from the downtown core. Toy Factory Lofts, Vibe and Battery Park are among its condo towers; Liberty Place by Canalfa Group, The Tower at King West by Plaza, and Fuzin by First Capital and Urban Corp are all on the way.

Tentative release of KingsClub Condos to the public is early in 2012.
