2013 Montreal’s housing market

bmoBMO Economics Housing Report: Montreal a Buyers’ Market Amid Cooler Sales.

Montreal’s housing market has improved in the past year, according to a new report on Canada’s major housing markets from BMO Economics.

The report, titled “Canadian Housing Update: Tale of Four Cities”, examines the state of the housing markets in Canada’s four largest cities: Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.

“While sales in Montreal are still 9 per cent below past decade norms, they have risen 2 per cent in the past year,” said Sal Guatieri, Senior Economist, BMO Capital Markets. “Support from decent affordability and job growth has countered lower population gains. An upswing in new listings has kept buyers in the driver’s seat, unlike in the other major cities. This is especially true for the new condo market, where a moderate overhang of unsold units persists.”

Despite appreciating 155 per cent since 2001, affordability remains healthy for Montrealers. “Benchmark prices run at four-times family income, and mortgage service costs consume a reasonable 23 per cent of earnings – less than half that of Vancouver,” noted Mr. Guatieri. “First-time buyers in Toronto and Vancouver can only cry over the cost of a two-story detached home in Montreal: $382,000 versus $565,000 in the Greater Toronto area and $1,030,000 in the Greater Vancouver area. Montreal should remain affordable even when rates normalize.”

Mr. Guatieri stated that Montreal’s house prices are expected to hold steady in 2014. “With fewer detached homes built, condo construction flourished in recent years, leaving the city with a moderate overhang of vacant units – more than in Toronto. While condo sales have picked up recently, they remain soft, as investors are wary of a higher condo rental vacancy rate.”

According to François Hudon, Senior Vice President, BMO Bank of Montreal and Co-Head Specialized Sales North America, prospective buyers should take advantage of current market conditions in Greater Montreal and prevailing low interest rates.

“BMO experts, including mortgage specialists, can accompany first-time homebuyers, as well as all customers, through the purchasing and financing process, and we invite potential buyers to meet with us and pre-qualify for a mortgage suited to their personal financial situation,” said Mr. Hudon.

Residential Real Estate Market in November 2013.

by

2013-12-09_engThe Greater Montréal Real Estate Board (GMREB) today released its residential sales statistics for the Montréal Census Metropolitan Area (CMA). According to the real estate brokers’ Centris® provincial database, 2,629 residential sales transactions were concluded in November 2013, a 1 per cent increase compared to November of last year.

“Single-family home sales registered solid results in November, thanks to increases in the suburbs, particularly on the South Shore and in Vaudreuil-Soulanges which posted respective increases of 14 and 21 per cent,” said Diane Ménard, Vice-President of the GMREB Board of Directors.

In contrast, both condominium  and plexes registered a decrease in sales, particularly plexes, which posted a 10 per cent drop in sales compared to last November.

The only areas that registered an increase in sales in November 2013 were the South Shore and Vaudreuil-Soulanges, at 13 per cent and 17 per cent, respectively.

The median price of single-family homes across the CMA rose by 1 per cent in November 2013 to reach $278,000. It remained stable on the South Shore and in Vaudreuil-Soulanges, increased by 3 per cent in Laval and on the North Shore, and fell by 5 per cent on the Island of Montréal. As for the median price of condominiums, it registered a 3 per cent decrease in November, reaching $233,000.

Market conditions for single-family homes remained balanced across the CMA. Vaudreuil-Soulanges was the only area where the single-family home market gave buyers an advantage, while sellers still had the upper hand only in Laval.

As at November 30, 2013, there were 30,955 active listings in the Centris® system , up 9 per cent compared to the same period last year and the 39th consecutive monthly increase.

Note that, as has been the case since January 2012, condominiums once again registered the largest increase in active listings. However, November’s increase of 13 per cent is slightly smaller than that observed last month.
