2018 Real Estate Market Outlook

Will it crash, or will it survive? 

It's been a wild ride for the real estate market in the Greater Toronto Area in 2017, with government intervention being the biggest influence. 

The year started off with a very strong first quarter, where multiple offers were commonplace, and prices were going through the roof. Alarmed by all this exuberance, the Ontario government came out with its Fair Housing initiative in April 2017, which was a 16 point plan to cool off the market. This plan included measures such as a 15% foreign buyer tax, and it had its intended effect. The market cooled.

Adding to the mix, the federal government did its best to reign in the market by raising interest rates twice, and then, at year's end, by implementing a banking "stress test" which made qualifying for a mortgage more difficult by a factor of about 20%. 

End result? We have a tale of two markets in 2017 - the first four months of the year, when things were booming, and the last eight months of the year, where they were not. 

Some year end MLS statistics, as provided by the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB): 

GTA

 - total 2017 real estate sales: 92,394, down 18.3% from 2016

 - average selling price for all types of property: $822,681, which is up 12.7% from 2016

 - TREB's composite benchmark price index: up 7.2% from 2016

 - average selling price for a detached house: $989,870 (down 2.5%)

 - average selling price for a condo apartment: $503,968 (up 14.4%) 

MISSISSAUGA

 - yearly average selling price all types: $721,952

 - December average selling price for detached: $1,140,965

 - December average selling price for condo apartment: $401,024

So where are we headed? Will the boom continue, or will the housing market crash?

Our federal and provincial governments are doing their best to cool off the market, and it seems to be working. They have attacked the "demand" side of the supply/demand imbalance, rather than finding ways to increase the supply. As we look at 2018, there will be a tug of war between these government initiatives to kill demand, and the underlying fundamentals of the market, which remain positive.  

FUNDAMENTALS

We must not forget that the fundamentals which have been driving our local real estate market are still in place. They are:

1.) low interest rates *though rising, still low by historic standards*

2.) excellent economic performance of GTA economy, which has been a powerhouse for creating high paying jobs

3.) continuing massive immigration into the region  

LOOKING AHEAD

The biggest problem will be affordability during the coming year. The new banking stress test will force many people out of the market for more expensive properties. Based on this and other factors, we believe that there will be only modest increases in prices for detached homes in 2018. Due to their lower price point and relative affordability, we are predicting continuing strength and price gains in the condo market.

So here's to 2018! We continue to monitor the Toronto and Mississauga real estate market on a daily basis, and look forward to another relatively good year going forward.

And here is the most recent monthly update, as provided by the Toronto Real Estate Board:

How to Win Multiple Offers - Bidding Wars

Wondering how to purchase property in Toronto? Multiple Offers and Bidding Wars have become a fact of life when buying a resale home or condo in the Greater Toronto Real Estate market, and have indeed become commonplace in many of Canada's major cities. Stories of homes selling for $50,000, $70,000, and even $100,000 over the asking price are no longer found just in downtown Toronto and Vancouver, with bidding wars happening also in suburban areas such as Mississauga, Oakville, and Richmond Hill. Are you wondering, what is a "Bully" Offer? If you are a Buyer, how can you increase your chances of winning when forced to bid against others? If you are a seller, what are the bidding war rules? This article is based on real-world experience in buying and selling many homes in the Greater Toronto Area, and although the terms and procedures reflect the Canadian real estate system, the house bidding strategy we teach can apply anywhere where there are multiple offers and real estate bidding wars.

How to Stage a House for Cheap

24 EXPERT STAGING TIPS

Stage Your House - Created with Haiku Deck, presentation software that inspires

The first step in preparing for the sale of your home is to prepare it so that it shows at its very best. The real estate industry has proven in many studies that professionally staged homes sell faster, and sometimes for more money, than those homes which have not been prepared for sale...Here are 24 Professional Home Staging Tips that you can do yourself, for little or no money. These techniques can help you to increase your home's likelihood of selling, how quickly it sells, and the dollar amount that you get.

1.) FIX SMALL NEEDED REPAIRS

Any small deficiencies can damage the attractiveness of your home to the potential buyer. A leaking bathroom faucet, a door bell that doesn't work, or peeling paint in the kitchen may seem like minor problems, but these minor problems can cause the buyer to think that there may be bigger problems that are hidden. That is why these small issues  should be either fixed, covered over, or replaced. Any signs of owner neglect must be done away with. These items are easy to overlook, so make sure you inspect your home thoroughly with an impartial eye. The best thing about these small repairs is that they are relatively inexpensive, and often you can do them yourself in very little time. Read more on how to stage a house...

Absolute World Towers

have redefined the Mississauga Skyline

The "Marilyn Monroe" condos, as they are popularly known today, can trace their origins back to November 28, 2006, when at annual Mississauga Urban Design Awards, Mayor Hazel McCallion announced that an international competition would be held for the design of the 4th tower at the Absolute World Mississauga condo development. Located at the north-east corner of Burnhamthorpe Rd. and Hurontario St. in Mississauga, the 3 previous buildings in the Absolute project had already been successfully sold to the public, with tradional designs, but it was felt that something special was needed for the landmark 4th tower, which was planned to be as high as 56 storeys.  More on the Marilyn Monroe condos
