Metro Vancouver Real Estate Guide Inc. • March 2016
Home ownership in Canada remains affordable … for buyers outside Vancouver or Toronto RBC Economics Q4 2015 February 29, 2016 • It has never been so unaffordable to own a single-detached home in the Vancouver area • Toronto is seeing rapid deterioration in affordability, particularly for single-detached homes • Affordability in the majority of other Canadian markets is improved or stable TORONTO - Housing affordability generally remained stable across Canada in the fourth quarter of 2015, with the exception of the scorching Vancouver and Toronto markets where soaring home prices continued to raise the bar on homeownership to ever higher levels, according to the latest Housing Trends and Affordability Report issued today by RBC Economics Research. On a national level, housing affordability in Canada deteriorated slightly in the final quarter of 2015 as RBC’s Q4 Housing Affordability measures continued to highlight marked regional differences. “The significant rise in homeownership costs in Vancouver and Toronto had a dominant influence on Canada-wide affordability measures in the fourth quarter of 2015,” said
Craig Wright, RBC Chief Economist. “While prices continue to escalate in Vancouver and Toronto markets, there are few signs that housing affordability is problematic elsewhere in Canada. Homes in other markets remain affordable with the situation either improving or remaining fairly stable,” added Wright. Moreover, within Vancouver and Toronto there is also a clear divergence in affordability conditions between singledetached homes and condo apartments. Most of the affordability-related stress is concentrated in the singledetached segment. Owning a condo apartment, on the other hand, is still within reach for many households in those two markets. The RBC Housing Affordability measure captures the proportion of pre-tax household income required to service the cost of owning a specific category of home at current market value (an increase in the measure represents a deterioration in affordability). For example, an affordability reading of 50 per cent means that home ownership costs, including mortgage payments, utilities and property taxes, would take up 50 per cent of a typical household’s monthly pretax income.
RBC’s housing affordability measure for the aggregate of all housing types in Canada rose by 0.6 percentage points to 46.7 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2015, the highest level in more than five years. The slight increase was broadly based across housing categories with the measure for singledetached homes climbing 0.6 percentage points to 51.3 per cent, and condo apartments moving up by 0.3 percentage points to 35.2 per cent. Regional disparities expected to continue “Current market conditions suggest that housing affordability in Vancouver and Toronto will stay on a deteriorating path in the near term. Sellers are very much in control of both markets, and prices are likely to continue to rise rapidly in the coming months,” added
Wright. “Recent changes to mortgage insurance rules aimed at cooling high-priced markets may slow down price increases at the margin but we do not believe they will materially reverse current momentum.” Conditions in Vancouver, in particular, show increasing signs of overheating in single-detached segments where home prices have skyrocketed in the past year. With an average price exceeding $1.2 million, single-detached homes have long slipped out of reach for the average local homebuyer. Purchasing a condo apartment is the only realistic option for most first-time buyers—although this too has become slightly less affordable in the last two quarters. Singledetached home affordability in Toronto continues to slip deeper into stressful territory for homebuyers;
however, conditions are not as extreme as they are in Vancouver. The housing affordability situation is much more constructive elsewhere in Canada. The balance of supply and demand in most other markets indicates that prices will rise more slowly and affordability measures therefore are likely to be more stable. Most of the markets seeing steady improvement in affordability were in the Atlantic region, where demand-supply conditions have been soft for some time amid economic and demographic challenges. In Alberta, flat affordability trends masked weakness in home prices and household income resulting from the energy bust and provincial recession. Price declines in markets such as Calgary will likely lead to improved affordability.

Another record-setting month for Fraser Valley real estate Fraser Valley Real Estate Board March 02, 2016 SURREY, BC – For the second time in as many months, Fraser Valley real estate saw record-setting monthly sales. In February, the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board processed 2,387 sales on its Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®), an increase of 79 per cent compared to February 2015 and 78 per cent more then was processed in January. To give a historical perspective, sales in February were 46 per cent over the 10-year average for that month; and, 4 per cent higher than the previous record of 1,948 sales in February 1992. Charles Wiebe, President of the Board said of this
month’s record numbers, “In my twenty-five years of real estate, I have never seen such consistent demand for housing in the Fraser Valley.”
of last year, and another record high for February. The total active inventory for February was 5,127, down 35 per cent from last year’s 7,864 active listings.
“While it’s certainly encouraging to see such confidence in our region, the intense demand has created a more complex market for buyers. For certain property types, prices have increased and selection is scarce. If you find yourself struggling in your search, consult a professional. We know the market and we’re here to help you.”
Wiebe explained, “Inventory is moving fast, so it’s critical that buyers know what they most want in a home and neighborhood, and be open to considering new areas. The Valley features a wide range of diverse housing options, with many areas still very affordable, so talk to your REALTOR® who will help carve a path to suit your needs.”
The Board received 3,283 new listings in February, an increase of 26 per cent compared to February
Across Fraser Valley, the average number of days to sell a single family detached home in February 2016 was

21 days, compared to 41 days in February 2015. The MLS® HPI benchmark price of a Fraser Valley single family detached home in February was $714,000, an increase of 23 per cent compared to February 2015 when it was $581,400.
In February, the benchmark price of townhouses was $337,300, an increase of 13.5 per cent compared to $297,200 in February 2015. The benchmark price of apartments also increased year-over-year by 11.2 per cent, going from $189,700 in February 2015 to $211,000 in February 2016.
