According to the REMAX 2019 Housing Market Outlook, the country\u2019s average sale prices will get a 1.7% boost, an indication that the balance has finally returned to Canada.<\/p>\n

The report notes that markets throughout the country stabilized this year after the 2017 aberration that saw prices in markets like Toronto\u2019s surge beyond reasonable levels. Stabilization is expected to continue through 2019, a likely consequence of interest rate hikes that are believed will increase as the year goes on.<\/p>\n

Thirty-one percent of REMAX survey respondents don\u2019t believe interest rates have hitherto affected their ability to afford a mortgage, but that optimism doesn\u2019t extend beyond December. Another REMAX survey of its brokers and agents revealed 83% expect interest rates to make Canadians\u2019 home purchases cumbersome next year.<\/p>\n

The report also expects sale prices in Vancouver to decline 3% in 2019 because obtaining a mortgage in the Metro region is becoming well-nigh impossible.<\/p>\n

“The drop in sales in key markets across British Columbia can be partially attributed to Canadians’ increasing difficulty in getting an affordable mortgage in the region,” says Elton Ash, REMAX of Western Canada\u2019s regional executive vice president. “The situation created by the introduction of the mortgage stress test this year, as well as continually increasing interest rates, means more Canadians will be priced out of the market.”<\/p>\n

The Greater Toronto Area, on the other hand, is expected to fare better next year as REMAX predicts sale prices will rise 2%, thanks to high demand for homes priced below $1 million. Demand will be weaker for homes above $1.5m, though. According to Christopher Alexander, REMAX\u2019s vice president and regional director for Ontario-Atlantic Region, looming rate hikes might be spurring the restraint.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are a little more cautious than they were in the past because interest rates are starting to rise,\u201d he said. \u201cGovernment said it would be more aggressive with interest rates and people are waiting to see how it will all shake out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alexander added that Toronto remains a popular destination, which should balance out weaknesses in its market.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not surprising [November sales in the GTA] were down year-over-year, but because Toronto is such a big destination, both domestically and globally, there will be good pockets of the city that balance everything gout.\u201d<\/p>\n
