But he says that a shift away from single-detached housing has been in the works for years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe reality is that low density sites are getting more and more expensive and farther and farther away from Toronto,\u201d Hildebrand told BuzzBuzzNews. \u201cLow-rise housing starts were well above 30,000 fifteen years ago, and we haven\u2019t seen those levels since 2008, because developers are focused on building high density housing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Along with the slowing of housing construction, CMHC predicts that national housing prices will increase more slowly in 2018 and 2019 than they did in the spring of 2017.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe\u2019re expecting price growth much more in line with inflation,\u201d says Dugan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But he\u2019s also quick to mention that the slow price growth may not apply to particularly desirable markets, like Toronto.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cOf course, supply shortages do have an effect on housing prices, and you may see that in Toronto and the GTA moving in 2018 and 2019,\u201d says Dugan. \u201cOften when demand increases, developers will respond to that demand with supply, but the response rate has traditionally been very low in Toronto.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Q2 of 2017, the number of completed and unsold dwellings nationally per 10,000 people was 4.2 units, the lowest level in six years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dugan says that, while prices have fallen since the Ontario government implemented its Fair Housing Plan in April, this lack of supply coupled with strong demand means prices will begin to rise in 2018.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cYou did see prices drop when the plan was put in place in April, but lack of supply will mean prices continue to climb in the new year,\u201d he says. \u201cIn Toronto, you have a historically low vacancy rate, and a year-over-year price growth in the condo market of over 20%. That\u2019s going to continue into 2018 and 2019, and it\u2019s going to present some serious affordability challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.buzzbuzzhome.com\/2017\/10\/death-single-detached-home.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CMHC : The Death of The Single-Detached Home is Here<\/a> by Sarah Niedoba | Buzz Buzz Home<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Single-detached housing starts are only going to decline in coming years, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation\u2019s (CMHC) Fall 2017 Housing Market Outlook report.
