Knight Frank defines luxury properties to be in the top 5 percent in terms of price in a given market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The only other Canadian city featured in the index fared considerably better. With prices up 3.2 percent annually, Toronto was ranked number 15.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn Canada, the gap between Toronto (3%) and Vancouver\u2019s performance (-15%) continues to widen with almost 18% percentage points now separating the two cities,\u201d writes Kate Everett-Allen, head of international residential research for Knight Frank.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhilst both operate a foreign buyer tax, Vancouver has seen a flurry of additional measures aimed at reducing speculation and curbing price inflation,\u201d she continues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While Vancouver has been hit particularly hard, luxury markets in general are underperforming. The index leader, Berlin, saw luxury home prices rise 14.1 percent, far shy of Vancouver\u2019s 2016 index-topping growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In fact, Knight Frank\u2019s overall index growth has been so slow since early 2009, amid the global financial crisis.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhat\u2019s changed? Although still rising, the rate of wealth creation globally slowed in 2018,\u201d says Everett-Allen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe last six months saw political and economic headwinds intensify. In the first quarter of 2019, the threat of a global trade war loomed, uncertainty surrounding Brexit peaked and the IMF projected that 70% of the world\u2019s economies would see a slowdown in growth in 2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2019\/05\/vancouver-dead-last-luxury-housing-market-ranking.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Once at The Top, Vancouver Sits Dead Last in This Luxury Housing Market Ranking<\/a> by Josh Sherman | Livabl<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vancouver\u2019s luxury housing market has hit bottom.
