The growing penchant for single-detached homes is supporting stronger price increases,\u201d wrote the economist.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hogue said the bank\u2019s economics team expects single-detached home and condo valuations to continue to diverge in the months ahead. Lower immigration and increased supply in central urban areas were marked as key factors in the condo market\u2019s struggle to gain momentum following the freeze in activity experienced through the spring.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of course, the condo markets in major Canadian cities aren\u2019t collapsing by any means. As BMO Senior Economist Robert Kavcic pointed out, Toronto condo sales, for example, were up \u201cjust\u201d 9.2 percent over the previous year in August.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But when compared to the robust 50.6 percent sales increase seen in the detached home segment in the suburban GTA and City of Toronto during the same period, the condo market\u2019s relatively modest annual increase looks more like a failure to launch.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So while the condo market faces the substantial headwinds of increased supply and immigration declines, it\u2019s also losing ground in the consumer preference battle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c[P]references have shifted in response to the new normal, leading to a spike in demand for more spacious homes on larger lots, sometimes well outside the core of the major cities,\u201d wrote Kavcic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe shift to work-from-home has opened up markets that were never previously in the realm of possibility for those commuting,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All this has amounted to prices for detached properties in the Toronto region rising nearly 20 percent in August over the previous year, while condo prices rose 9.5 percent. While the price increase disparity in the Vancouver region was less pronounced, detached properties still saw an annual increase that was 2 percentage points higher than what was recorded in the condo segment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The outlook remains slanted in favour of further price increases in the detached market while condo price increases are likely to continue to be weighed down by unfavourable market dynamics.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201c[I]f listings can\u2019t keep up, you can bet that the recent run in prices has more room to go, especially in some smaller markets peripheral to the major cities that are now subject to a feeding frenzy,\u201d wrote BMO\u2019s Kavcic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/2020\/09\/condo-detached-home-price-trends-diverging.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RBC : Condo &amp;
