卡尔加里公寓市场往上调整




2012-8-30 一份官方报告显示---就业机会增多、人口增加、低利率将会支撑消费者对卡尔加里公寓市场的需求。报告同时也指出权衡当地收入情况,卡尔加里的房价仍然是八大城市中能够承受的起的。
 
2009年经济衰退以来,尽管2011年新公寓市场一路滑落, 但是目前卡尔加里的新公寓市场复苏地不错。同时,开发商的尾盘也陆陆续续被买家吸收。卡尔加里春天的房市总是一片繁荣,所以公寓市场也如火如荼,紧接着的2个季度销售则明显下滑。

目前市场上的可售房源仍保持比前几年低的水平,我们期待在未来两年里陆续消化。 这些都源于卡尔加里经济的复苏、以及需求的上升。报告指出卡尔加里公寓2012年期待挂牌量升至4年来的新高点2,373单元,预计比2011年涨 15.5 %,但是2013年挂牌量预计将会降至2,099 单元。

报告对比了加拿大八大城市,预计卡尔加里2012年成交量为3555单元,比2011年涨3.8%; 2013年成交量为3621,比2012年涨1.9%。而2012年成交均价预计为$239,445,涨幅0.9%,  2013年年成交均价预计为$246,414,涨幅2.9%



本地收入高,加上公寓市场仍在中间价位徘徊,使得卡尔加里的房地产是8大城市购买力最强的。而且购买力预期2013年仍保持强劲,因为利率仍很优惠,另外房地产中间价的小幅上涨和居民收入的小幅上涨比率基本吻合。

2012年消费者对公寓的需求比2011年强,现在就业率提高、大量移民涌入、贷款利率好,现有出租房源逐步减少,都使得公寓市场价格会往上调整。

New Homes in Quarry Park Calgary




Quarry Park in SE Calgary was an area worn down over time by industry and eventually was no longer used as a gravel site. After the area became free for development the city and developers were left questioning what to do with the area. This is when Remington Development Corporation did well by stepping in and taking charge.

Lafarge was the former owner of the gravel quarry, a company that Remington Development Corporation had a relationship with through their own commercial real estate endeavors. Remington was looking to step out of strictly commercial and venture into residential developments where they could truly integrate commercial and residential into a community with a seamless design. Quarry Park’s riverfront property and close proximity to the future south east LRT was too good of an opportunity to pass up! Now transformed by Remington Development Corporation into an eco-friendly, innovative neighbourhood, Quarry Park has become a popular destination for people looking to buy a new home in Calgary.

Quarry Park is Eco-Friendly

  • Features multiple LEED certified buildings in its centrally located, European town style market. LEED certification is not an easy thing to come by and has many rigorous requirements of buildings before they are given this prestigious certification
  • Any old constituents of the quarry such as asphalt, aggregate and concrete were used in the new development of the SE riverside community, reducing the environmental footprint left by the developer during construction.
  • An innovative, storm water filtration system has been added to waterways found within the community to clean any storm water before releasing it back into the Bow River
One of the main purposes of the developer is to make the community a walk-able, connected community where residents don’t necessarily have to rely on cars to get around. Not only is there a future LRT terminal planned in the neighbourhood, it is also connected to several hundred kilometers of pathways found on the embankments of the Bow and Elbow Rivers and main recreational areas such as Fish Creek Provincial Park.

This community has it all! An inherently eco-friendly, riverside community with endless recreational opportunities and less than a twenty minute drive to downtown Calgary, it’s no wonder its homes are highly sought after on today’s market!

购买卡尔加里豪宅- 5个答疑FAQ




每个人都梦想拥有惊人的宅邸、城市中的PENTHOUSE,或者靠近湖边的别墅,尽管要花费普通工薪阶层房屋的3-4倍费用。但是当时机成熟时,当购买能力不再是问题时,不少人还是大方出手。下面是购买之前,您可以做的简单准备:
 

1 – 准备购买社区的条条框框(主要指郊区的别墅社区)
很多富于社区的Home Owner Association 设有不少条条框框,请确保购买之前已经有所了解!

2 – 您准备购买房屋所在街是否是什么现存问题?
和街上邻居聊聊天,大出手购买之前多多了解不会有错的。

3 – 准备购买的房屋是否同时是个非常好的投资?
在高尚社区置业是笔重大投资,最好找个有经验的买家代理帮助您找到该社区性价比高的房屋,这样更加保值,并且升值。

4 – 该房屋是否坐落在您家想住的地方?
仔细问问自己,您是否在市中心工作,想拥有离单位更近的,但是占地稍小的INNER CITY INFILL社区?还是想找找田园的感觉、住在边缘的Aspen Woods Springbank Hill,同时也交通方便。
INNER CITY INFILL社区房源信息如下:

人们喜欢卡尔加里的25种原因



坐落在落基山脉脚下的卡尔加里是加拿大阿尔伯塔省新西部的核心,是Bow River Elbow River交汇处。因为我们的独特地理位置,Chinook风吹来,我们就会有很多暖洋洋的冬日。事实上,我们的光照平均天数远远高于国内其它城市。下面是很多人喜欢卡尔加里的原因,我希望你也能找出自己的原因。


  1. 卡尔加里经济是全国表现最好的城市,形形色色的行业包括能源、金融、制造、运输、高科技、影视等等。
  2. 卡尔加里没有省税、个人收入税构架也相对有优势
  3. 卡尔加里被 Globe and Mail评为加拿大最佳工作城市,被 Today’s Parent 杂志评为加拿大最适合家庭居住五大城市之一,近期又被排名全球最适合居住城市之第五名。
  4. 更毋庸提及一个半小时之内就能抵达的落基山脉、Banff国家公园。
  5. 卡尔加里是全球惟有的三个没有老鼠的地区。(应该是数量相当低的三个区域之一吧。我就在老房子逮过老鼠。)
  6. 卡尔加里人可以全年365天,一天24小时走进医院,享受免费诊断。(我 怎么就听说很多检查都排了很久很久呢;实在等不急的,干脆就死了算了。看来凡事都是相对的,人家强调的是“不花钱,就能看病。”)
  7. 卡尔加里拥有大大小小500多公园、野生动物观测点、自行车骑车道和爬山小路。
  8. 卡尔加里拥有加拿大41%20-44岁年轻人口,平均年龄仅36!

  5. 卡尔加里人拥有住房数量比例全国最高

  1. 加拿大高等教育注册比例全球最高
  2. 加拿大拥有世界上9%的再生水资源(这应该往前排名次)
  3. 世界上伟大的盛事之一---牛仔节Calgary Stampede!(这也算啊?你别说,这几天收音机上讲过了,GOOGLE搜索卡尔加里市排名第一的是STAMPEDE。牛啊!)
  4. 卡尔加里志愿者数量全国最高。(有钱了,多做善事也轻松啊。)
