The Vancouver Real Estate market has remained strong despite the meltdown of our neighbours to the south. Thanks to a more closely guarded banking system, Canada has been able to slide through the mess relatively unscathed. The question is: now that the Olympics games are over for Vancouver, will the much anticipated financial hangover begin?
With the current strength in the Vancouver Real Estate market matched with historically low mortgage rates to go with it, one would say “how could we possibly be headed for a meltdown”? Current inventory is low which is again sending Real Estate transactions into multiple offer situations with buyers paying $10,000, $20,000 and in some cases even $200,000 over list price. Although the latter is for a specific product in a couple of choice neighbourhoods it still has happened. The potential for a bubble is definitely there but not on a broad scale. It looks more like the micro-markets of Vancouver Real Estate that are getting too far ahead of themselves are at the most risk for a bubble.
The Vancouver condo and townhouse market has seen growth over the past year at a pace that has all the right conditions to stay sustainable. 1st-time buyers are generally the demographic in this category and are taking advantage of the low mortgage rates. With the recent changes imposed by the Canadian Government on mortgage lending, we should have a little more of a cushion against an overall bubble. The changes included that anyone seeking a mortgage with less than 20% down payment (CMHC insured) would have to meet the requirements of a 5 year fixed rate mortgage regardless of the term they were seeking. Another safeguard was to lower the amount of equity one could withdraw from their home for refinancing purposes from 95% to 90% of the appraised value. In the case of a market retraction this would give a little more cushion for those who are spending close to what their home is worth.
The $700,000+ debt left on the shoulders of the Vancouver taxpayers for the construction of the Olympic Village will hopefully be recouped over the next decade. According to recent reports, one local developer was able to cash in on $31.8 million in high end units from people visiting for the 2 week Olympic period. The village will house approximately 1100 units of mixed income households in a sustainable community of shopping, services and parks.
Although there are some challenges ahead the future still looks very bright and promising for the Vancouver Real Estate market. Some lessons have been learned that in hindsight should help the City and Country avoid the same mess the U.S. got themselves into. There will be, although, pockets of bubbles where ignorance is driving people into frenzied buying and driving prices to unsustainable levels. On a broad scale the city’s real estate market will see slow growth through the remainder of 2010 with a moderate increase going into 2011.
After a 2009 that saw the Italian property market stand against the financial crisis that hit global markets better than any other country, the forecast for 2010 are that property in Italy will likely have a quite similar perform compared to the previous year. It will see a slight decrease in home prices, with high end properties holding better their value and cheaper properties having a stronger decrease in prices. This is what emerges from a study conducted by the Italian property group Tecnocasa.
The report analyses the performance of the Italian property market throughout last year and highlights the fact that the property sales in Italy experienced the strongest slowdown in the first months of the year to pick up later on, when investors acquired more confidence in the market, especially in the residential sector. A negative influence to the market was given by banks and mortgage companies who tightened up access to funds to property buyers, making sales harder to achieve.
For 2010 the reports predicts that, if the conditions remain similar for all the year, there will be 600,000 properties sold, similar to the 2009 performance, with a slight decrease of property prices in the matter of 1% to 3 %.
Cash buyers, or investors that can provide the right credentials to gain funds will have the power to bargain the price and thus choose the best deals which will sell quicker: this also means that easy to sell properties will sell even more easily and without much hassle than properties that provide less value for money.
Also homes at the top end of the market will keep performing well as they did in 2009, whereas cheaper properties will probably have a steeper decrease in value, this is mainly due to the difficulties that the type of buyers interested in this kind of home will have in finding access to credit.
Along with high end properties also homes set in city centres will perform well: cities such as Macerata, Savona, Avellino and Lecce will see a price increase by 1% to 4%. A slightly smaller price increase is expected in Latina, Parma, Rimini, Taranto Verona, Cagliari, Bergamo, Pavia and Udine, which will have a price raise up to 3%.
A different situation is predicted for Bari and Turin. Although their average prices will see an increase, between 2% and 5% for the first one and 0% to 3% for the latter, their city centre will have a price drop expected to be between -1% to -3% for Bari and up to -2% for Turin.
A peculiar aspect of the report is the fact that, while the property market in city centres will remain stable, properties in the outskirts will see a drop in their prices. This will happen in all cities, except the ones that have invested in infrastructures and in requalification of urban areas. Among these cities, Genoa and Palermo are expected to be the worst performers with a stronger price decrease for their outskirts properties between -6% to -9% for Genoa and -5% to -8% for Palermo.
You’ve looked and looked and have finally found a home that meets all your needs. Just when you thought it was never going to happen, you find yourself staring down the barrel of your real estate agent’s pen, while they anxiously await your terms. Here are a few things to consider when jumping into the choppy waters of real estate negotiation.
1. Enlist the services of a real estate agent (if you haven’t been smart enough to do so already) Agents have been receiving a tremendous amount of slack over the commissions they are paid, but their advice and direction can be invaluable! They have access to information to help you determine fair market value. They have access to information regarding the community the home is located in. They have relationships with a host of other professionals whose services you are going to require in order to close your deal. These are all things that every serious homebuyer will have to consider, with or without the help of an agent. Why would you go to the bargining table without your interests being fairly represented?
2. LISTEN to your real estate agent! Let them prove their worth by giving them the opportunity to show you what they know and do their job. Why would you argue a property’s value with someone whose job it is to determine value? A good real estate agent will provide you with the same information they have access to in order for you to arrive at a reasonable starting point in your negotiation process.
3. Who is on the other end of the deal? Are you dealing with real, live homeowners or has the property been taken back by the bank? You must consider the environment that you are stepping into. There’s a good chance if you lowball the owner of a family home, you might just offend them to the point of refusing to consider anything you bring to the table. A bank or organization, on the other hand, is more apt to keep it to business and simply come back to you with terms that would be acceptable. Think about this…really think about it. Do you want to risk losing the perfect home simply because you were looking for something for nothing? I’ve seen it happen…it’s far from a good place to be.
4. Be prepared for a counter offer. Just like a homebuyer who devalues property to meet their budget, a homeowner usually suffers from a similar condition in the reverse. Ideally, there is a realtor involved to help the seller come to terms with a sincere and fair counter. This is where, as a buyer, you will require patience. Don’t get caught up in delays, or stressed to the point you can’t think. A deep breath and count to three can do wonders when you have folks on the other end of the deal who weren’t really expecting someone to come along and call their bluff.
Bottom line… emotions are a funny thing, and people can be even worse. When the negotiation process begins, the most important thing to remember is to keep a level head…with or without the help of a real estate agent.
