Canadian home sales have been falling on a year-over-year basis ever since a new mortgage stress test was implemented in January. And while many industry watchers had predicted the market would start to recover in spring, one economist says things may stay cool for awhile longer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt increasingly looks like the new stress test is causing more than just a temporary dip in housing market activity in the greater Toronto and Vancouver areas,\u201d writes RBC senior economist Robert Hogue, in a recent note.<\/p>\n

Last month, sales were down 22.2% and 35.1 year-over-year in Toronto and Vancouver, respectively. But there\u2019s a reason that May\u2019s year-over-year numbers are looking so dire, and it has everything to do with regulations that came into effect this time last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay 2017 was when activity really started to nosedive in the Toronto area following the introduction of Ontario\u2019s Fair Housing Plan in late-April,\u201d notes Hogue \u201cIn Vancouver, market-cooling measures announced in the 2018 provincial budget in February also likely weighed on May resales.\u201d<\/p>\n

And while the market is taking longer to correct than originally predicted, Hogue writes that he isn\u2019t worried about the current state of affairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aren\u2019t overly concerned by what is becoming a more extensive market correction in two of Canada\u2019s largest markets,\u201d he writes. \u201cAt this stage, we still believe that neither is in a death spiral. Despite sharply lower levels of activity, demand-supply conditions (as depicted by the sales-to-new listings ratio) remain balanced.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benchmark prices in both cities have been slowly climbing on a month-over-month basis, which Hogue considers a sign that the markets are still relatively healthy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anything the year-over-year decline should be seen as a positive development considering how high prices had climbed previously,\u201d he writes. \u201cThe road ahead is likely to be bumpy for both the Toronto and Vancouver market. Still, we expect that as long as the economy continues to grow they will manage to stay on track.\u201d<\/p>\n
