It's A Great Time To Buy Recreational Property Summer has finally arrived, and many Canadians consider this a great time to buy a recreational property. The Canadian real estate market had record-breaking activity during the coronavirus pandemic, but now market conditions have normalized, with many markets shifting into balanced territory. Consumer confidence is improving, and with “cottage season” in full swing, the recreational property market is hot. Statistics show that nearly 11 per cent of Canadians own a cottage, and around the same number of people aim to purchase one in the coming years. The biggest motivator to purchase a recreational property? The quality of life many believe these properties offer. Another major motivator is the belief that homeowners can pass these recreational properties down to their families. In addition, another notable reason for considering the purchase of recreational property is to earn rental income. However, at the same time, economic uncertainty, especially in today’s rising-rate environment, has resulted in nearly 69 per cent of Canadians being hesitant to invest in recreational property. With that being said, the Canadian real estate market is showing signs of renewed life, with home sales increasing 5.1 per cent month-over-month in May, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). Moreover, the number of newly listed properties increased by 6.8 per cent. While property prices have somewhat stabilized compared to the high prices during the pandemic, the market is fairly stable, with the MLS Home Price Index climbing by 2.1 per cent month-over-month. However, supply for recreational properties can still be challenging as the number of buyers during peak season can make prices more competitive for buyers.

Here’s what the Bank of Canada’s interest rate hikes mean for homeowners. The central bank started an aggressive campaign of interest rate increases in 2022, with the objective of cooling the inflation rate. While inflation has eased from its peak last summer, still sits above the Bank’s two-per-cent target, driven by a wide range of factors, from expansionary pandemic-era fiscal policy to surging commodity prices. Costs remain elevated across the board, from food and household goods to services. Can the institution achieve its objective of busting inflation and navigating the economy to a soft landing? Time will tell. What is becoming evident, however, is that higher interest rates are weighing on the Canadian real estate market, impacting demand volumes and moderating price growth. What the Bank of Canada’s Interest Rate Hikes Mean for Homeowners In a survey of Canadians about the 2023 housing market, 45% said they are concerned that interest rate increases will impact their ability to buy or sell a home this year. Suffice it to say, borrowers are being affected by higher interest rates. Indeed, a rising-rate environment reduces the purchasing power of prospective homeowners and increases the financial burden of current homeowners who have a mortgage. Add to this more stringent mortgage stress tests, and the number of homebuyers in the marketplace drops. At the same time, homeowners who may have bought a home might have entered into a fixed-rate mortgage, which means they may not need to worry until about rising rates until their mortgage comes up for renewal in a few years.

Housing Market Remains Stable

 

The local housing market continued its steady streak in June, with 745 homes exchanging hands via the MLS® System of the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR). Housing supply increased from 1.7 months of inventory in May to 2.2 months of inventory in June, showing signs of market stabilization.  “The sales activity in June is consistent with the activity from the last several months,” said 2023 LSTAR President Adam Miller. “This happened despite another interest rate hike last month. Halfway through the year, the sales demonstrate the strong demand for home across the region, which is very encouraging.”

The overall sales-to-new listing ratio for LSTAR was 52.7% in June, slightly down from 60.6% in May. According to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), a ratio between 40% and 60% is generally consistent with a balanced market. "Although the data indicates a more stable marketplace, it's important to remember that every home transaction is unique," Miller said. "Depending on what the Bank of Canada decides to do during its July 12 announcement, your local REALTOR® can provide the necessary support on navigating the evolving environment, with real-time data and professional guidance." The June average home price was $675,923, slightly down from $682,561 in May. The composite MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Benchmark Price was $626,200, up from $619,800 in May.

Local Housing Market Rebounds

 In May 2023, 1,397 new listings came on the local market and 846 homes exchanged hands via the MLS® System of the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR). While the number of new listings is 23.9% lower than in May 2022, the number of sales is 1.3% higher than a year ago.

LSTAR's overall sales-to-new listings ratio for the entire area stood at 60.6% last month. Moreover, the inventory continued to decline, dwindling from 1.8 months in April to a mere 1.7 months in May.

"The month-over-month increases in home sales and prices continued in May in LSTAR's jurisdiction, thus indicating a further rebound of the local real estate market," said 2023 LSTAR President Adam Miller. "Throughout the last three months of 2023, an upward trajectory in the quantity of residential property sales and corresponding price hikes has persistently caught our attention. These trends demonstrate the enduring presence of a fervent demand for properties in our area, despite the obvious lack of housing supply," Miller added.

Despite a 10% decrease in LSTAR's average home price and an 11.9% decline in the composite MLS® Home Price Index (HPI) Benchmark Price compared to the same period last year, these figures showed improvement compared to earlier this year. The average home price in May 2023 reached $682,561, while the composite MLS® HPI Benchmark Price sat at $619,800.

The Summer Weather Is Here!   The weather is heating up and so is the real estate market! There has been lots of activity in the real estate market this spring. Properties under a million and in the more affordable range of 400-800k are getting lots of attention. Higher end priced homes are still seeing greater activity but not as much as the lower range. May 24 weekend was a busy weekend in our small town of Grand Bend but it was sure awesome to see our town come alive with tourists and nice weather. Garrett and Mark just got back from Montreal where they attended a Young Leaders Network event that is hosted by RE/MAX Canada. These events are great for staying on top of our marketing ideas, new trends in the industry and most of all networking with amazing realtors across Canada so that when a client is moving away from our area that we can refer you to a trusted real estate agent that we know personally. Pictured above is one of the networking events where the whole group went on a river cruise for some sight seeing along the St. Lawrence River. We have been busy getting some amazing properties listed in the past couple weeks ranging from riverfronts, lakefronts, brand new homes and cottages so we got something for everyone! We love to talk real estate so call us anytime at 519-238-5700! Re/MAX Luxury Report 2023 A lack of available homes listed for sale have served to prop-up housing values across the country, despite softer overall demand, explains Alexander. After double-digit declines from peak to trough in the second and third quarters of 2022, prices have held up relatively well in major centres. The year-over-year value of luxury homes in markets such as Calgary and Moncton increased, while the GTA, Hamilton-Burlington, Ottawa and Greater Vancouver have fallen just short of peak Q1 levels. In an effort to maintain supply and curtail demand from foreign buyers, the government implemented its Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act on January 1, 2023, which had unintentional consequences on the construction of purpose-built residential rentals and mixed-use projects across the country, as well as sports and entertainment figures and corporate transfers throughout the first quarter. Amendments to the Act, effective March 27, 2023, included: •Enabling more work permit holders to purchase a home to live in while working in Canada. •Repealing existing provisions so the prohibition doesn’t apply to vacant land; provide an exception for development purposes. •Increasing the corporation foreign control threshold from three per cent to 10 per cent.

Therefore, you need to know what you are paying for as you find a home to budget the home-buying process accurately. One of the expenses associated with buying or selling a detached house, a townhome, or a condominium is closing costs. These are a wide range of fees generally paid at the end of the transaction, accounting for roughly one percent to four percent of the overall purchase price, depending on where the home is located. So, what can you anticipate paying when you complete the acquisition? - Land Transfer Tax - Legal & Agent Fees - Property Tax Adjustments - Pre-Builds can have additional fees - Home Inspection & Appraisal Fees - Mortgage Broker fee Click the link to read the full article: https://blog.remax.ca/what-is-included-in-closing-costs-when-you-buy-a-home/ Summer Sunset Sounds Concert Series The concerts are coming back to the Grand Bend Rotary Stage on the main Grand Bend beach!
