Canadian Housing Can't "Crash" - but that's not the only way down

Tuesday Jun 29th, 2021 Share

A $1 BILLION bet that Canadian housing will end up like Germany.

It’s no news that Core Development recently announced they’d be purchasing $1 Billion in Canadian housing with their new fund. It was only a matter of time until this happened, as Jay Vasantharajah (@jayvasdigital) and I discussed in a podcast episode about a year ago. (Link for the curious) The industry knows about this – and therefore the majority of people in Ontario know about this, because the majority of people in Ontario are directly or indirectly employed by the...

WTF is a buyers' market?

Real estate supply & demand I've been writing a lot about demand factors lately, and perhaps that's a function of the buyer's market we're currently in. So, as an aside, I will be releasing my Summer 2019 market report sometime within the next few days, but here's a teaser infographic reiterating that we are, in fact, in a buyer's market. The clearest metric defining a buyer's market is excess supply. Since the market (alongside the economy)...

Introducing Public Market Reports.

With that being said, what I have learned seems to be more focused on explaining the very interesting phenomena of how the layout of a home adapts to the introduction...

March 2019 Georgina Real Estate Market Report

If I were to summarize March, 2019 in a word, it would be "uncommunicative."

Here are the major takeaways I've got from March, let's hope that this was all just a result of our extended dance with old-man winter: All but one price metric have moved...

Capital Mobility - Georgina's Luxury Real Estate Market

It appears as though somewhere along the line, people remembered that real estate is actually about land.

So... what does this all mean exactly? Well - I guess it means that if you're planning to sell in a subdivision, your luck ran out in 2018. Generally,...

Slow and steady. Georgina Real Estate, 2-year price average

Looking at the year-over-year change, we've got growth of something like 10% from February 2018 to February 2019. I see this year over year figure used incessantly to feign market growth. Isolating a single month to create an annual growth figure is stupid. Especially considering how much the spring market...

Baldwin & Belhaven, Georgina - February 2019 Real Estate Market Infographic

Baldwin and Belhaven continue to surprise me as a representation of the niche nature of Georgina's real estate market, and the general consistency in demand for niche product. We've seen a lot of price volatility in the area, but that's likely as a result of the skew in data due to the low volume and low inventory in the area. With that being said, these rural areas always stand out as higher-priced locales within Georgina, telling us that land and luxury are becoming synonymous....

April 2018 - Georgina Market Report Infographic - Monthly High/Low vs. Average/Median

Similar to last month, and despite land costs maintaining, we are seeing a growing wealth gap in Georgina’s real estate market, which we suspect is as a result of luxury utility being drawn out of the subdivision areas. Essentially, we aren’t expecting to see any million-dollar homes in subdivision areas again for quite a while. With subdivision home sales, Simcoe Landing in Keswick, returning to more historically normal prices, waterfronts and rural properties are now playing a...

April 2018 - Georgina Market Report Infographic - Volume Metrics

Currently in the Georgina market, we are seeing normal absorption figures, with a 46.5% SNLR (sales to new listings ratio). This ensures a strong pipeline of homes for sale in Georgina while still ensuring that existing prices are protect, and we do not move into an excess demand scenario.   The current monthly absorption rate for April 2018 of homes for sale in Georgina is 26.2%, which means that we have 114 days of inventory on the market. If no other homes were listed in...

As mentioned previously, the trend for average and median prices still remains downward.

As a result, homes in Georgina are selling less...

Essentially, these trends can be boiled down to a couple of simple themes: Firstly, capital is still moving at the rates it was, it’s just moving to less traditional assets in the Georgina market, namely big lots, properties for flipping,...

April 2018- Georgina Market Report Infographics- Average/Median

We are seeing a historically tight deviation in data, telling us that there is becoming a much more clear consensus on property value in Georgina amongst the demand curve. Essentially, land value is normalizing by transacting at more frequently accurate prices. This changes the price of land in Georgina, and therefore the contribution margin of land to overall value. This gives us a more levelled playing field for utility factors such as number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, and square...

The Sorry State of Canadian Retail

When HBC closed Zellers, Canadians never really had to fully experience the consequences of the change. Sure, we had to take our appetite for frugal and odd purchases elsewhere, but that appetite was quickly filled by Target… or so we thought. Now, we all have our own opinions about why Target failed in Canada so allow me to voice mine.
