How the return to work could impact Canada's real estate landscape JUSTIN KERBY | REW

At the beginning of 2021, 32% of Canadian workers aged 15 to 69 worked the majority of their hours from home.

In 2016, that number was only 4%, according to Stats Canada.

Though some believe that the changes to our working styles are permanent, it’s likely that we’ll see somewhat of a return to work for many employees if COVID-19 cases fall and remain relatively low.

There are many ways the real estate market could react to more and more Canadians returning to work.

Here’s a look at some of the potential changes we could see take place over the coming months and years.

1. Renters could return to city centres The return to work in major city centres is likely to draw more renters back to downtowns across the country. At REW.ca, B.C.’s largest home search platform, search data reveals that rental searches in the City of Vancouver were up 40% mont h over month in July 2021, and up 35% in Toronto. These search habits could indicate that more renters will return to major cities this fall.

Few major Nor t h American cities have

built more apartment units per capita in the last decade than in Canada’s three largest metropolitan areas, and with softening rental markets, inventory shouldn’t be a problem.

A not her p otent ia l situation that could be unfolding is the return of more renters to areas near post-secondary institutions. Remote learning will continue to be the preferred method

of education across the country for the remainder of the year, but should the return to the office prove to be successful this fall, the return to school could be next.

investors currently have more options in the Canadian condo market.

Greater Vancouver condo prices pulled back slightly in July 2021, and are currently flat from where they were three years ago. With the Canadian market finally cooling after a peak in March 2021, sales of condos have consumed a rising share of the market.

More renters, more immigration, low interest rates and flat condo prices should continue to push investors off of the sidelines and into the resale market in several major Canadian cities.

We’re already seeing investors jump into new developments at a high

rate, as pre-builds have become an attractive option for those looking to secure today’s interest rates, among other reasons.

3. Work flexibility and the potential impact of semi-remote work Though the inventory for detached homes and townhouses may be scarce, that doesn’t mean that the preference trends we’ve seen from buyers will drastically change with a semi-return to work.

For some, commuting two days per week will make a move to the suburbs more desirable, especially if their employer announces that a flex schedule will become permanent for their po-

sition. Expect people in this situation to continue to weigh the options of a move outside the city, where a down payment goes further per square foot than it would in a city centre.

With many workers returning to the office for

just a few days a week to start, there will also be a continued interest in renters and buyers needing spaces with home offices. This is a change that new developers and those tackling renovations have paid close attention to, so expect the demand for home offices

to be one of the trends brought on by the pandemic that is here to stay.

Whether it comes quickly or slowly, the return to work will no doubt have a significant impact on Canada’s real estate landscape for years to come. Renters, buy-

ers, sellers, and investors will watch and adjust to the trends in kind, with changes in housing preferences likely to continue throughout the near future.

Are you moving this winter? If so, you’ll need to take into account the like­ lihood of cold temperatures, slippery conditions and blizzards. Here are a few tips to ensure your move is as safe and stress free as possible.

1. Keep an eye on the forecast, and don’t hesitate to reschedule if there’s a storm.

2. Double pack fragile items and electronics so they’re less likely to break in the cold.

3. Clear the walkway and driveway of snow and ice to prevent any ac­cidents.

4. Cover the floors with plastic tarps to keep them clean and avoid water damage.

5. Turn off the heat since people will be going in and out of the house all day.

6. Put a space heater in the bathroom with the door closed so you have a warm retreat.

7. Board your pets so they’re not underfoot or stuck in an unheated house all day.

8. Confirm the utilities are working at the new house before you arrive on moving day.

9. Have warm clothes, spare gloves and bedding in the car for easy access.

10. Fill a thermos with hot chocolate or a crockpot with soup for you and the movers.

Finally, be sure to hire professional movers who have experience working in the winter, and remember to tip them well.

Features that matter least when house hunting If you’re perusing listings online or visiting a property in person, there are a lot of red flags to watch out for. How­ ever, there are also several features that shouldn’t affect your decision to make an offer on a home.

Paint colours and wallpaper Painting a home is easy and affor­da­ ble, even if you need to remove a bit of

wallpaper first. In fact, you shouldn’t let any of the seller’s questionable de­cor choices distract you from seeing the potential of each room.

Carpets and popcorn ceilings With so many attractive low-cost floo­ ring options, there’s no need to be dis­ suaded by ugly carpets. Similarly, an expert can take out a popcorn ceiling

in no time. For the sake of convenience, just be sure to have both removed be­fore you move in.

Privacy and curb appeal Don’t be discouraged if you’re not wo­ wed when you first see a property. Land­ scaping the yard and repainting the front door can make a big difference.

And you can always add hedges as fenc-

ing for more privacy.

Finally, don’t judge a home by its age.

In many cases, an older property will have higher quality materials — not to mention more charm and character — than a new build.

How to maintain your home’s curb appeal in winter Do you want to put your house on the market this winter? If so, you’ll need to make sure the cold, dreary weather doesn’t detract from your property’s curb appeal.

Here’s how to give potential buyers a great first impression.

• Paint your front door.

This is a sim­ple way to make your home stand out. A bold colour like blue, red or yellow is sure to pop against a snowy landscape.

• Update your number and mailbox. Replace

peeling sticker numbers and a rusty mailbox with quality pieces that match the style of your home’s exterior.

• Spruce up your outdoor lighting. Since the days are short in winter, illuminating your home

should be a top priority.

The warm glow of light from wall sconces or a porch chandelier will improve your home’s appearance and visibility.

and shrubs with colourful stems and berries to liven up your winter landscaping and make your property more inviting.

• Add colour to your yard. Plant evergreens, frost-resistant flowers

• Clear a path to the door. You’ll want to ensure your property is
