2015年五月份房地产统计

市场朝均衡方向发展
--- 五月份卡尔加里的房屋价格调整了方向!!!

从2014年12月份以来,第一次卡尔加里的民宅市场基准价比前一个月份跳高了一点。整个卡尔加里范围房屋基准价格为$454,100,比上一个月以及前一年微涨 0.55% 、0.96 %。

新挂牌量是持续第三个月份了,比去年同期减低。这样帮助市场向更均衡的态势发展,尽管我们目前的成交量还是很低。总之,这些都有助于抑制价格的进一步走低。

本月整个城市新挂牌数量为3,161套,比去年同期降低了 27%。同时,库存可售房源总量为5,342套,比去年同期高出了16%。(都是因为成交量减低了不少。)但是,2015年五月份的可售房源数量仍然比过去5年内五月份的均值低8%,比过去十年内的可售库存房源均值低3%。

两个均衡市场指标分别为月份供给量/新挂牌量比率、月份销售量/新挂牌量。 五月份,库存可售房 源总量/新挂牌量比率降低了2.43%,成交量/新挂牌量比率为 69%。这两个数据都显示了市场趋向于均衡态势。

回到今年一月份的市场,高库存可售房源和一下子降低的成交量有关,导致当时月份吸收成交率高达5个月份。目前在卖家持续面临不同挑战,取决于他们的房屋类别、挂牌价格、房屋地段等等因素,月度供给的降低使得市场向买方、卖方均衡的方向发展。

一月份至五月末,独立屋部分新挂牌量降低了8%,是全部房屋产品段中最大的降幅。尽管总体库存可售房源总量比2014年高出了12%,但是仍然比五年、十年均值低了不少。独立屋本于共售出1,366套,绝大部分是成交价低于50万的房屋。市场条件并不像去年那样紧张,不过仍然对卖方有利些。整个前5个月以来,50万以内的独立屋市场还是保持均衡态势发展的!

独立屋市场持续比较良性的交易状况,有同时由于很多买家利用比2014年改善了不少的市场状况。在有些买家等待价格大幅下滑的时候,只能告诉大家,到目前为止我们还没有看到这一现象贯穿所有房屋产品段,尤其是50万以下的独立屋市场。

公寓市场一月份至五月末销售量、新挂牌量分别为1,383单元、 3,229单元。市场基准价为$294,800到比四月份为涨了1.2%,但是仍然比2014年四月份为低了0.2 %。(令人惊讶的是)公寓市场却是唯一能够持续保持2014年价格的产品段。

在二手房市场新挂牌量没有持续增加的状况下,开发商新建房却开始挤压了。目前新建房库存量还是相对来说比较低的。然而,卡尔加里总体房屋价格的影响最终还是取决于经济减缓的时间长短以及开发商新建房的库存总量。

Dramatic fee hikes coming to real estate market

                                                                                                      Jmarkusoff@calgaryherald.com   from Calgary Herald

In a budget thick with user fee increases, homebuyers face the biggest whack — registration fees will triple or quadruple for many new property owners.

The dramatic hikes for registering new land titles and mortgage documents come as Alberta’s real-estate market is mired in a significant slump, with sales volumes down and prices beginning to dip.
The move surprised many in the sector, but Service Alberta Minister Stephen Khan said lawyers and real-estate associations told him there was room to grow, compared with the taxes and fees in other provinces.

“We heard that independently from our stakeholders — boy you guys are really, really really low when it comes to fees,” Khan said. “There’s a recognition that having the lowest fees is not a sustainable model.”

There are two segments of land title and mortgage registration fees, and both will rise July 1. The flat-fee portion for each type of registration goes from $50 to $75.

But it’s on the “variable” or per-dollar fee that homeowners will really pay up. That charge will rise to six times its current level.

Here’s what it will mean for someone who purchases a $500,000 new home this summer — the rough average price for a standalone house in Calgary — and takes out a $400,000 mortgage:
— Currently, the new land title for that buyer costs $150 and the mortgage registration costs $140, for a total of $290.

— In the new budget, a land title would cost $675 and mortgage registration $555. The new total: $1,230.

While this fee is a fraction of the price of a new house or condo, new homebuyers are often surprised by the bevy of unexpected costs like home inspection, legal fees and the suddenly increased levy for document registration, said Liberal MLA Darshan Kang, a former real-estate agent.
“I don’t think this is going to help sales,” Kang said.

It’s the first time since 2011 the province has increased the flat fee for property and mortgage registrations. In the Klein era, the province slashed the variable fee from o.1 per cent of a property price to 0.02, and it hadn’t moved since. Now it will be 0.12 per cent.

While registration fee hikes bring Alberta much closer to the national average, it’s still well below what homebuyers pay in provinces with land transfer taxes. That same $500,000 property would come with an $8,000 transfer tax in Vancouver, $7,500 in Halifax, and $12,200 in Toronto, according to ratehub.ca, a financial comparison website.

The oil price collapse has walloped Calgary’s home resale market.
The Calgary region recorded one-third fewer residential sales this February compared to last February, while the median price went down 2.1 per cent, according to Calgary Real Estate Board data.

“The market has already been trending downward and the added fees certainly won’t help, but won’t be the sole deterrent from buying,” said Mike Fotiou, an associate with First Place Realty.
While Khan said he hasn’t heard worries about the fee hike from many groups, others that didn’t see this coming are still looking at what the change means for buyers of resale and new homes.
 
“It was a surprise to us. We didn’t know it was on the table,” said Amie Blanchette, government affairs director for the Canadian Home Builders Association, Calgary region.
