But there are changes going on in the housing landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Crown corporation says for households headed by someone 55 to 64, almost 400,000 in Ontario could be in the market to renovate. The agency says the age group will make up about 1.1 million households in Canada\u2019s largest province next year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAlthough the average growth rate of home renovations is not likely to match that of the last couple of decades, the province is still set to see an increase. Ontarians are aging, the housing stock is aging, home prices are on the rise and more homebuyers are turning to the resale market \u2014 all these factors support renovation spending,\u201d said Tsiakopoulos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He noted a Statistics Canada report from 2011 which found of the 4.3 million young adults 20-29, 42% lived with their parents. That was up from 27% in 1981.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>As tight supplies continue for single-family homes in most of the markets across Canada, people are choosing to renovate rather move.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOne of the things we\u2019ve saw from StatsCan is basement renovation activity have been gaining popularity. Some of it could be young buyers fixing basements up to rent and help pay the mortgage but most of the renovations happening in Ontario are by households over 40. I suspect that these basements are tied to the need for more space,\u201d said Tsiakopoulos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Brad Henderson, chief executive of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Canada, said some of what we are seeing is a \u201cboomerang\u201d in which kids leave the house for school, but to get established in career and save for a house they need to come back home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAs tight supplies continue for single-family homes in most of the markets across Canada, people are choosing to renovate rather move,\u201d said Henderson, adding it\u2019s much more of a Toronto and Vancouver phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CMHC noted that historical census data from Statistics Canada show almost 80% of households headed by someone 55 and older prefer not to move.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis is due to declining mobility when households age. In fact, households only move if health and finances necessitate this or to be closer to family and friends,\u201d the report noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cIn addition, undersupplied resale markets combined with rising transaction costs stemming from realtor fees and land transfer taxes would further discourage mobility among older households. Housing needs change as a household ages which will require adapting the current home to meet ever changing needs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">CMHC says renovation spending may not be growing at the same rate it was prior to 2008, but it nonetheless contributes to almost 3.5% of Ontario\u2019s gross domestic product. The renovation market is now worth more to the provincial economy than new construction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/business.financialpost.com\/personal-finance\/mortgages-real-estate\/older-owners-would-much-rather-renovate-their-homes-than-go-through-a-move-cmhc-says\" target=\"_blank\">CMHC : Renovation Boom with Older Homeowners Aided by Stay-at-Home Adult Children<\/a> by Garry Marr | Financial Post<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TORONTO \u2014 It\u2019s hard to downsize when your adult children are still living at home, a situation proving to be a key factor in the booming renovation market.
