Vancouver Real Estate Searches from US Sources Triple after Trump Win
W
eb traffic to Lower Mainland and Victoria home listings on REW.ca tripled on the day after the US election, as US residents started researching the possibility of moving to Canada. The mantra “If Trump wins, I’m moving to Canada” has been oft-cited throughout the campaign – and it looks like many thousands of people are seriously contemplating such a move. Visits to the REW.ca home listings portal rose by 226 per cent on Wednesday November 9, the day after Trump’s presidential victory, compared with the day of the election, and by 219 per cent compared with Wednesday November 2. Page views on the property listings from US computers leaped to 26,204 on November 9, versus 8,789 page views on Wednesday last week – a rise of 198 per cent. The total proportion of US visits to REW.ca rose
from an average of 3.17 per cent of all the site’s sessions, to 10.56 per cent on November 9. The majority of the searches were from Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, New York and Chicago – all in Democratic strongholds. From California, which accounted for 35 per cent of REW.ca’s US-based traffic, searches on the listings portal rose by 272 per cent the day after the election, Wednesday November 9, compared with November 2. Possible Effects on Vancouver Housing Market The election of Donald Trump as US president and the extended Republican grip on all levers of American political power will affect the real estate markets on both sides of the US-Canada border, analysts say. Here is what is expected: Lower Canadian lending rates: A surge in the US dollar – which rose within hours of the election – could stall a planned increase in US Fed lending rates and lead to lower mortgage rates in Canada. Some see the potential of negative interest rates in Canada if trade agreements with the US are threatened and the Canadian dollar weakens further against the US currency. However, the Big Banks seem to be taking matters into their own hands and raising rates, with TD Bank increasing its prime and RBC cutting the discount on its fixed-rate mortgages this month. Resource boost: President-elect Trump has threatened to tear up the Paris Climate Agreement, denying that global warming is a man-made threat to the planet. Trump has also pledged to gut the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. He favours

construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, a key project of TransCanada Corp. that would open Alberta oil exports to the US market. The price of WTI crude oil spiked to US$45.21 a barrel following the Trump victory, up from US$44.00 a day earlier. Big winners could be resource communities and companies in Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan. Higher Canadian immigration: A perception of tougher U.S. immigration regulations under a Trump regime could lead to a surge in Canadian immigration, already on track to welcome an average of 300,000 people annually. The Canadian Citizenship and Immigration web page crashed from excess traffic as the election results unfolded. Higher immigration could increase demand for housing. Cooling of China’s economy: Trump has promised trade restrictions against China, which could accelerate a current economic downturn in the world’s second-largest economy. Trump vowed to slap a 45 per cent tariff on Chinese imports on his first day in office if China doesn’t change its “unfair” trade practices. Many Chinese investors may be seeking a safer haven, and Canada, particularly Vancouver, will likely top the list. Despite this, however, a survey by Juwai.com, China’s largest real estate listings site, found that almost half of the Chinese buyers of international property said they think Trump’s presidency will be good for the US economy, and will make them more – not less – likely to invest in the States. Further, more than half of Chinese real estate agents surveyed who work with international buyers said they expect further investment in the States under Trump’s presidency.

IMPERIAL: INSPIRED BY A FIVE-STAR HOTEL
T
aking its cues from its luxury boutique Loden Hotel in downtown Vancouver, Amacon’s Imperial infuses elements from the developer’s award-winning hotel into all of its homes at Imperial. The lobby, the amenities and the homes have been well considered, inspired by a “tailored to perfection” vision carried out through the design process. Rising 26 storeys, Imperial is named for its location on Imperial Street in the Metrotown neighbourhood, steps to everything this growing neighbourhood has to offer – restaurants, SkyTrain, parks, recreation and shopping. A hotel-style lobby will combine the look of luxury and with an elevated, full-service concierge to provide the
sense of arrival one would expect upon arrival to a hotel. Offering a collection of 169 homes, Imperial is about choice, with onebedroom through to three-bedroom tower homes, including a townhome collection, live-work homes and penthouses. Imperial is also all about quality time, whether it’s that quiet solitude on your spacious deck or in living room catching up on a good read while taking in expansive views, or family dinners, lovingly prepared in the well-appointed kitchen. Everything inside these contemporary homes is comfortable and well thought-out, built for the way people live today. With ninefoot ceilings, air conditioning, USB
receptacles, a large-capacity washer and dryer, and custom organizers in the master bedroom closets, all homes include those interior design elements that speak to ease and comfort. In the kitchen, integrated appliances, full-height cabinetry, a convection wall oven, five-burner gas cooktop and polished-quartz waterfall countertops are included. In the bathrooms, Moen brand fixtures, custom medicine cabinets and a pullout vanity organizer continues the tailored look and feel of Imperial. The private amenities space will be outfitted by a fully equipped fitness centre, a yoga studio, a business meeting room, a music room, a games room and a guest suite. A large social
lounge will boast a social a full kitchen and two large dining tables, perfect for larger gatherings. The social lounge also opens to a large outdoor terrace with garden plots for those green thumbs. And if sustainability appeals to you, Imperial also offers a car- and bike-share program. With more than five decades of excellence in the industry, Amacon has a stellar track record. Opening in October, the Imperial presentation centre, which includes a two-bedroom show home and two kitchen vignettes, is located at 4700 Imperial, Burnaby. Tentative occupancy: late 2018 or early 2019. For more information, visit www.imperialbyamacon.com.
