It was found that 12% of property owners in the GMA owned more than one property, 13% in the GTA and 14% in Greater Vancouver. Over 40% of those secondary property owners in the GTA and Greater Vancouver used equity from their primary residence to make the purchase.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhile some secondary properties are used for recreational purposes, many of these homes are foundational to Canada\u2019s critical supply of rental housing,\u201d said Phil Soper, president and CEO, Royal LePage. \u201cEntrepreneurial landlords supply housing to the 30% of Canadians who rent, be they new immigrants, students, young people entering the labour force or those who cannot or choose not to own their home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Secondary properties currently vacant : 7%<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When survey respondents from Greater Vancouver were asked about the purpose of their secondary properties, more than two-thirds said they were collecting rental income, if only some of the time. In fact, 27% of secondary property owners said they were not collecting any rental income at all, while 51% said they are using the unit solely as a rental property.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thirteen per cent said they were using the property some of the time and renting it out some of the time. Seven per cent of respondents said their secondary properties are currently vacant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Witnessing home values across the country rising to new heights, younger Canadians who are financially able to purchase one home are confident in purchasing a second property as an investment, a Royal LePage release states.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cCanadian homeowners believe in the value of real estate because they have seen their investments grow over time,\u201d said Karen Millar, sales representative, Royal LePage Signature Realty. \u201cPeople feel confident investing in real estate because it is a physical entity that they can experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Real estate an integral part of retirement planning<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Caroline Baile, a real estate broker for Royal LePage explains that real estate is an integral part of retirement planning for many Vancouver homeowners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhile some are using their secondary properties, possibly a cottage or a ski chalet, many of those with multiple homes are looking to build future equity as a means of sustaining a desired lifestyle down the road,\u201d Baile said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Baile went on to say that younger Canadians are very business savvy and have a clear idea of what they want their retirement years to look like, putting a lot of emphasis on work-life balance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThey want their money to work for them, and they recognize that investing in real estate has the potential for great returns,\u201d Baile said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/biv.com\/article\/2021\/07\/greater-vancouver-has-most-secondary-homeowners-canada-survey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greater Vancouver Has The Most Secondary Homeowners in Canada<\/a> by Cameron Thomson | BIV<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent survey has found that Greater Vancouver has the most multiple property owners in Canada.
