Home Buying Strategy for 2022 – Toronto Housing Market Report & Outlook

©Copyright by top real estate agent in Toronto/GTA, senior broker, Daisy Huang, February 2022.

With the past year spent amid numerous uncertainties and changes, every year at this time of the year, 「Daisy Realty List®」 publishes a previous-year-end analysis and outlook report of the Toronto real estate market based on big data analysis. I hope to help you grasp the pulse of the market, eliminate noise, focus on certain factors, take history as a mirror, and look forward into the new year.

Whether you live in North America, China, or other countries in the world, the experience of the past few years has been a lot of surprises and many unknowns to everyone, and the uncertainty of the world has intensified. To sum up last year, Daisy thinks that these are two key phrases: “The coexistence with Covid” and the “normalization of inflation”. In this macro-environment, the real estate market in the Greater Toronto Area in 2021 is revolving around one word: “rising”. Everyone has heard or experienced the rise in housing prices last year, and it is no longer news. Daisy Huang will tear down the factors with you today to take a detailed look at CT images of detached houses, townhouses, condos in GTA. This report will be of great help to master the market, and worth collection every year.

Let’s take a look at the 3D breakdown of detached homes in the Greater Toronto Area in 2021:

There are 33 cities/towns in the Greater Toronto Area. The darker the colour of the block in the figure below, the higher the average price; and the higher the column, the greater the price year-over-year increase%. As of the end of 2021, the average price of a detached home in the GTA has surpassed CAD $1.4 million, representing an annual increase of 25%; like last year, the outer suburbs of the Greater Toronto Area have experienced the largest increase due to low base prices.

Specifically, the top three detached house prices in the Greater Toronto Area are occupied by Central Toronto, King City, and Oakville. In terms of increase%, Uxbridge, Innisfil, and Oshawa in the east of the Greater Toronto Area ranked the top three, indicating that there is a strong demand from entry-level buyers and investment in detached houses around GTA.

In terms of townhouses, by the end of 2021, the average price of townhouses in the Greater Toronto Area has reached CAD $980,000, with a year-on-year increase of 22%. The largest %increases are from the periphery of the Greater Toronto Area.

Townhouses also basically abide by the principle that the lower the total price, the greater the increase. The average prices of Toronto Central District, King City, and Markham are among the highest, whereas the easternmost Clarington, and the northernmost East Gwillimbury and Essa recorded the top three increases.

Let’s talk about Condo. The Condo market in GTA is mainly concentrated in Toronto and adjacent Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, and Mississauga. In 2021, the average price of condos increased by 7%, and the average price was close to CAD $700,000. The average price of the traditional C12 luxury residential area in Toronto almost reached CAD $1.4 million. In terms of increase, the E10 district, which is located in the easternmost part of Toronto, came out on top, reaching 22%.

Last year, three districts in Toronto’s eastern suburbs ranked among the top three in terms of average price increase in Condo, while traditionally the three midtown luxury residential blocks with the highest average price were C12 (including Horse Track), C09 (including Rose Valley), and C02 (including Yorkville), their increase% was flat or negative, and the average prices of C09 and C02 areas fell. It is worth noting that the C12 and C09 districts had the highest increase in the previous year. It seems that last year, for these two luxury residential districts, its condo market had a rational correction. In 2021, the price growth rate of condos in the outer periphery of Toronto was higher than that in downtown Toronto. Daisy Huang expects that the price of condominiums in Toronto city center is going to pick up growth momentum in the short future.

Looking forward into 2022, Daisy Huang summarizes into four “unchanged” and one “uncertainty”. The four “unchanged” are:

  1. Inflation expectations remain unchanged. Due to the high integration of global economies and the extremely fragile global supply chain as a result of decades of globalization, inflation is going to be around for quite a long time, and the recent rise in commodities has only added fuel to the fire. Daisy Huang has an analysis article on the cost of condo development and construction previously, expounding the logic of developer costs and new house supply in an inflationary environment. In short, there is no doubt that future home prices will be fundamentally supported by development costs.
  2. Canada’s immigration policy remains unchanged. Talent and human resources are the driving force of a country’s economy. China’s demographic dividend over the past 40 years has created a great economic miracle. Canada, as an immigrant country, is well aware of this. The immigrant population has been growing constantly. The number of immigrants reached a new high last year, all these immigrants form the strong demand fundamentals that support the real estate market.
  3. The situation of “demand exceeds supply” remains unchanged. It is an industry-wide acknowledgement that supply shortage is the biggest bottleneck. The so-called policy measures such as restrictions on overseas buyers or vacancy tax etc have always been proven to be just a storm-in-a-teacup that government stirs just to show its presence, which cannot change the overall situation of “demand exceeds supply”.
  4. The trend of coexistence with Covid remains unchanged. Most Western countries, including Canada, including many Asian countries (such as Singapore), have basically relaxed their mentality and accepted the reality of coexistence with Covid. Based on this, Daisy Huang predicts that in 2022, Canadian economic activities will be significantly more active than that in 2021, which will also have a positive impact on Toronto and Canada’s real estate.

The “uncertainty” mentioned by Daisy Huang above mainly refers to the uncertainty of interest rate hike expectations and the effect of interest rate hikes. The largest inflation in 40 years has forced the central bank to issue frequent interest rate hike warnings. Daisy Huang also believes that the Bank of Canada will follow suit with the US Federal Reserve to take action. However, raising interest rates is a double-edged sword. The current global market is lack of supply and manpower, not demand expansion. Therefore, the rate and pace of interest rate hikes must be handled cautiously, otherwise, there is a great possibility of triggering more supply shortages which will lead to “stagflation” – that is: economic stagnation and inflation at the same time. The central banks of the world are all led by smart people who in fact are not willing to raise interest rates, but the current inflation figures are too ugly, and they just have to do something. Of course, raising interest rates is not necessarily a bad thing for the real estate market. If house prices always go up rapidly in double digits, it will be unhealthy. A cool-off period for consolidation and price re-confirmation is essential to the market’s long-term health. Based on the historical trajectory of the past two decades, a healthy average annual housing price in Canada, excluding inflation, is around 6%.

In conclusion, four “unchanged” factors are positive for housing prices, while one “uncertain” factor is neutral for the housing market and good for its long-term sustainable growth. Daisy Huang forecasts that the Toronto property market in the new year will be dominated by price consolidation and re-confirmation, meaning both buyers and sellers can trade more calmly, the market will still come out healthy and go upward, and there are also quite a lot of opportunities along the way.

That’s it for now, thank you for your time, see you at 「Daisy Realty List®」 next issue.

GTA大多伦多地产龙年新年排行榜

  本文由加拿大多伦多优秀金牌房地产经纪人，知名Broker ，Daisy黄岚原创于2024年1月   过去一年，诸多外部因素给大多伦多楼市布下了不为人意志转移的大环境。而作为其中的参与者或观望者，他们的心态、认知、以及各人的财务状况也导致了许多不同的感知、思考、和行动。说到底这个市场乃至整个世界的存在和运行就是每个人头脑中的投射反映。它因为个人的立场和认知不同而不同，所谓“心外无物，心外无理”，因此也并无对错之分。这里唯一重要的是对当下市场作一个客观的写实，然后才能基于历史、现实、乃至大众心理学和哲学，作出理性客观的判断，形成对未来的预测。   每年此时【黄岚地产榜】的目标就是助您客观地回顾过去，认识当下，把握未来。          关键词：高利率。2023年加拿大和大多伦多地产市场的关键词就是高利率，这导致投资和刚需购买力大幅下降。GTA总体房价年均下降了5.3%。分区域来看，万锦Markham跌幅最小，同比下跌1.7%，其次是多伦多中区Toronto Central和列治文山Richmond Hill, 同比分别下跌2.2%和2.5%。2023年均价最高的地区依然不出意外的是多伦多近郊的老面孔，均价前三位的分别是King国王市、Oakville奥克维尔，和Richmond Hill列治文山。       如果我们把均价和涨跌幅置于象限图中来分析，可以看出，在市场总体下跌的环境下，越是GTA远郊跌幅越大，而越是近郊的老牌高房价市镇则跌幅越小，换句话说越是保值。这一现象在前面的色块地图中也有反映，色块越浅跌幅越大，色块越深跌幅越小。Daisy黄岚想指出的是，这和疫情时期楼市大涨阶段恰好相反，当时是均价越低的地区涨幅越大。          再细分到独立屋市场，2023年大多伦多地区独立屋均价为146万加元，年跌幅为5.3%。色块地图中颜色越深跌幅越小，而颜色越浅则跌幅越大。可看出GTA远郊地区独立屋2023年跌幅明显大于GTA核心地区。价格方面，多伦多中区Toronto Central，国王市King City，以及奥克维尔Oakville摘得独立屋房价前三甲。      ...

本文由加拿大多伦多顶尖1%著名专业房地产经纪人Daisy黄岚原创于2017-01-10 电话(亦可用于添加微信) +1 647 899 0888 由Daisy黄岚团队分析制作，2017大多伦多《黄岚地产榜》发布啦 !!  本榜单以多伦多地产局新鲜出炉的年度数据为基础，该年度数据报告信息量庞大，从宏观角度看，先划三个重点： 新挂牌的房源（New Listings）数量在减少 可供购买的房源（Active Listings）相比去年减少了48% 一套二手房在市场上的平均销售时间从29天减少到20天 这种偏紧的情况我个人认为在2017年还会持续下去，原因是多伦多作为加拿大的经济引擎，一方面不仅能支撑房价的涨幅，一方面还在不断吸引包括新移民在内的外来人口的涌入。房屋供需仍然是僧多粥少。所以无论是贷款收紧趋势，还是各种楼市措施，多伦多楼市单边稳步上涨的局面很难有所改变。好了，让我们深吸一口气，来看看具体的数据。 先看一下<大多地区五年房价演变动态榜>。倒数5… 4… 3… 2… 1… Bingo！！ 不看不知道，一看惊得让人起鸡皮疙瘩有没有。请特别注意下图在去年(2016年)的显著跳升变红，房价涨势真是不等人啊。而这正是Daisy黄岚在2016上半年作出的分析预测的现实版 (详见Daisy历史文章： 多伦多房价上涨终极解密 ) 再来看下<2016大多伦多房价涨幅前十名市镇榜>… 注：大多伦多地区共计33个市镇 UXBRIDGE成为新晋冠军，该区域房产因为总价尚低，值得适当保持关注 KING作为老克勒聚集的豪宅区域，从去年排名的第33位，今年强势挤入排行榜第二的地位，值得一直对该区域保持敏感 以RICHMOND HILL为代表的北部区域由于1、2年来累计的凶猛涨幅，已经渐渐不支，接下来的上涨行情应该趋于平稳 以镇屋和公寓为代表的物业，机会将出现在多伦多市区、杜兰郡和密西沙加三个地区 OAKVILLE今年以22%的涨幅居第10位，但其均价已经在各市镇中居第三的位置，补涨行情明显 我们再把上图和下图<2016大多伦多二手房消化速度市镇榜>结合起来看一下… 注：大多伦多地区共计33个市镇 现在又要划重点了：同时出现在2份榜单中的市镇有哪些？ OSHAWA NEWMARKET AURORA 房价涨幅又快，房子上市卖出的周期又短，这三...

本文由加拿大多伦多顶尖1%专业金牌房地产经纪人Daisy黄岚原创于2018-06-06 电话(亦可用于加微信) +1 647 899 0888 上一期黄岚地产榜，Daisy给大家介绍了midtown中城区的一些情况，这期，来和大家介绍一下中城区的公立学校。  中国国内观众请点击此腾讯视频链接：https://v.qq.com/x/page/w0685bq9h8r.html 由于我们华人在买房时对孩子的教育环境十分重视，所以学区是很多中国家长们买房考虑的首要因素。今天Daisy黄岚给大家介绍Midtown中城区的四所公立高中名校以及学区房的情况。 说到多伦多的学区房，中国人比较熟悉的地区万锦, 列治文山和旺市, 都是属于约克区的。的确, 从菲沙研究所的排名来看, 约克区的整体成绩与排名都远远地好于多伦多地区。 但是,单独看排名的学区选择是偏颇的, 多伦多有着无与伦比的地域优势和良好的教育传统的熏陶与浸染, 这都是不可忽视的。 North Toronto Collegiate Institute 北多伦多高中     北多伦多高中, 安省排名第33/747，是位于的传统豪宅区旁边的一所公立学校，靠近Yonge和Eglinton夹角，是不折不扣的西人主流社区高中，学校规模较大, 在校生1200名左右，据官方统计，有90%的学校毕业生进入大学深造。建校于1912年的百年老校。由加拿大最著名的建筑商Tridel开发承建,校舍获得LEED金奖。 北多伦多高中的学区范围横跨了好几个热门地区，也是我们常说的中城区，地处社会中高阶层社区，教育背景多元化，深得西式欧洲教育的传承。大多数学生都精于某项运动或专注于自己的爱好，学术成绩也从来不逊色。学校注重学生领导力和社会责任感的培养, 学生会每年组织“慈善周”捐款活动，筹集款项资助社会各界。学校还有多伦多唯一一个校际仪仗乐队。组织各类学术与特长俱乐部，让学生学以致用。 该校区范围的社区居民62%是欧洲后裔，23%北美后裔，10%亚裔及拉丁裔，华裔较少。 Lawrence Park 高中     在中城区稍稍偏西北的地方, 也有一所高中名校, Lawrence Park Collegiate 劳伦斯公园高中。这所高中和著名的私立女校Havegal 相当近, 位于Avenue Rd 和...
