REAL ESTATE

Trends for 2021 Written By: JULIE ACHTERMEIER

I

n 2020, real estate was among a short list of sectors that saw tremendous growth in the second half of the year after initial lockdowns due to Covid-19 put a halt on most activity in the spring. As people adjusted to working-fromhome, the desire to move outside the city to a suburban landscape with larger

yards and a bigger floor plan allowed the market in Halton to rebound. By the fourth quarter of 2020, agents were dealing with multiple offers and recordbreaking sales numbers.

George Niblock from Royal LePage Real Estate Services said December 2020 was his busiest to date, ending up with an increase in sales of 28 percent over the previous year. "I listed many properties in December right before Christmas, which is something I rarely do," says George. "The demand was much higher since people weren't taking time off to attend parties or gatherings as they normally would. Buyers stayed focused on buying right through the holidays."

"People remain focused on making a move outside the city," explains George.

"They have adjusted to the work-from-home lifestyle as well as the various restrictions and changes and are ready to expand their living space. Clients who are making appointments are serious buyers."

2021-01-28 9:31 AM

George explains that the sales process has become easier than during the first lockdown in March of 2020, with appointments booked through an app and Covid-19 assessment forms sent via email automatically. "We are still doing many virtual open houses, and buyers are doing their research online, so they are more qualified by the time we're booking an appointment to see a house."

What remains a challenge for buyers is the lack of inventory, which has become even more pronounced in 2021. As many people choose to move outside the city, those in the outskirts are choosing to stay put, dedicating their investment to renovations instead.

"The first month of the year is typically a quiet ramping up," says Deborah Brown from RE/MAX Escarpment Realty. "But this year, we are already experiencing record-high demand and record-low supply." Deborah describes December as traditionally a 'planning' month, where they prepare for the upcoming year, but this past year, she was out with buyers right through the holiday season.

The lack of inventory is also responsible for pushing prices higher, making home buying for first-time homebuyers more challenging. In many cases, young adults have opted-out of their city condos to move back in with their parents. The result is an increased demand for homes with rental apartments or in-law suites.

"The biggest demand is for detached homes," explains Deborah. "Buyers are looking for more space as well as separate living quarters for younger or older family members." And while the trend for larger homes soars, Deborah continues to see what she describes as the "move over buyers" who migrate from urban to suburban living – spending their money on more robust living space instead of life in the big city.

By the end of 2020, the market had rebounded to record levels, with average prices across the GTA and southern Ontario at record highs and the number of available listings at record lows. With the first month of the year already behind us, the industry shows no sign of slowing down. Sellers continue to benefit from the enormous windfall, and buyers must prepare themselves for bidding wars and making offers on multiple homes before finding the right one. Patience may be a skill that buyers need heading into the 2021 real estate market, but it is also an exciting time for them to redefine what "home" means.

And, while we can't predict what the rest of 2021 will look like, there are no obvious slow seasons in sight. It's only full steam ahead.

MEET THE

REALTORS Can you tell us about your background and experience in real estate?

As soon as we touched down in Toronto, the first call we made was to Ruthanne Smith.

Ruthanne is our Director of Operations and the “Mother Bear” to all of us at Engel & Völkers Oakville!

We have been selling Real Estate for over a decade now. We first started with the Prudential Office at Oakville Towne Centre, which was a lovely “boutique” environment much like the one we have built at our Engel & Völkers office in Downtown Oakville.

What is it that makes you so passionate about what you do?

Does Engel & Volkers offer home sellers and home buyers tools and advantages that other brokerages in this area do not offer?

SCOTT RUSSELL

The team that leads Engel & Völkers is made up of people who have been Realtors and heads of other Real Estate companies in the past, so they know the tools our buyer and seller clients demand and deserve. Some of the tools include GG Magazine, syndication of listings to domestic and global real estate web sites that combined generate approximately 10 billion visitors annually, strong and consistent brand marketing and standards, and a referral network of over 11,000 real estate professionals in over 30 countries around the world.

& JOANNE COPELAND

We take great pride in the relationships we have built over the years with friends, families and clients alike, and we are passionate about helping clients navigate through the journey of selling and/or buying a home which can often be a stressful process. Nothing is more satisfying than hearing clients say they were filled with angst at the outset, and in the end commenting that the professionalism and care given made the experience an enjoyable one.

What was the motivation behind you choosing to open the Engel & Volkers office in Oakville?

Owning a Real Estate Brokerage was not on the radar for either one of us, until we were introduced to Engel & Völkers. After some initial research, we felt compelled to hop on a plane and head to the Americas headquarters on Park Avenue in NYC where we were greeted by no doubt the best in the business worldwide! Meeting Anthony Hitt, our CEO, sealed the deal for us. Anthony credits his business and real estate success to his philosophy of providing exceptionally personal customer care and constantly implementing the most up-to-date systems for efficiency and comprehensive service. The fit was undeniable, we forged ahead and here we are.

In such a competitive market, with so many realtors and brokerages, what do you offer your clients that you think makes a difference?

Our advisors dedicate the expertise, time and unmatched marketing resources we possess to help sell homes to the right buyer at the right price.

Working with an Engel & Völkers advisor gives sellers the EDGE that affords each listing extensive online exposure - an expectation of today’s savvy consumers and international clientele. With our global network of real estate professionals, we not only reach millions of targeted consumers, but are able to collaborate with our fellow Engel & Völkers advisors world wide to strategically handpick and refer buyers for the specific properties they seek.

Quiet CREATING A

Nook Written By: JULIE ACHTERMEIER

Over the past twelve months of lockdowns, restrictions, working from home and schooling from home, the "home" itself has become more than just a landing place. It is where we have three meals a day, work, spend our downtime, and even work out. Whether you are a family of one, two, four or more, most of us have found the year in close quarters to be, well, close.

Every day it becomes more apparent that our mental health is being affected by a year of stress, worry, and restrictions due to the global pandemic. Some days we must dig deep to keep ourselves healthy, mentally and physically. Carving out a new wellness space is a great way to take care of you and your family's mental health and provide a much-needed escape from the daily routine. The key to remember is that this is for some alone time, so an investment in furniture will be minimal.

Creative_Living_DP_QuietNook_Final.indd 1

2021-01-27 3:50 PM

FIND THE IDEAL SPOT If you have a family like mine (two teenagers, a husband and a dog), you may have searched for somewhere to escape once or twice over the past year. The key to finding a quiet nook isn't just about finding extra space. The goal is to find an area of the house that's quiet and off the beaten path. A cozy reading chair in the family room isn't going to give you any peace if someone's watching a hockey game.

Since the area is for one person, only a small space is required. A landing, corner of a bedroom or even a walk-in closet can become a peaceful haven once you re-designate its usage. If space is a challenge, think of unconventional areas like the foyer, an entranceway or even a mudroom. The best way to start is to survey your home and see if your current layout and function suit today's needs.

For example, in my house, we have a small dining area that had become nothing more than a place to throw papers, homework and mail. We asked ourselves: Is this the best use of this space, given we will not be entertaining anytime soon?

We removed the dining set and made the area a second office, moving my writing desk out of the master bedroom. With a now-free corner of the bedroom, we created a quiet place for anyone to use when they need a little recharge. Not only did this create a quiet nook, but it also took "work" out of the bedroom, helping me get a better night's sleep.

KEEP DECOR MINIMAL Once you have chosen your spot, decorate with one comfortable chair and a calm motif. If you're looking for a more significant project, you could repaint the walls and change the lighting, but this renovation can be low maintenance and inexpensive for quick results. Keep in mind the functionality of the space and only add items that will enhance the experience. A painting with a peaceful scene, a crocheted blanket, a small table with a reading light, and an essential oil diffuser are all enjoyable items you can add. It could also function as an area to meditate by adding a floor cushion, a salt lamp or some candles. Keep the area clutter-free and set a rule that whoever uses the space, takes their book, computer, teacup or any other items with them when they leave.

The goal is to help you recharge, not become another area to clean.

SET THE MOOD This quiet space can be somewhere to close your eyes and rest, or a place to retreat with a good book and glass of wine. No matter how you spend your time here, set the mood first by ensuring your family knows this is your uninterrupted quiet time. Get comfortable and take three big breaths to indicate to your body and mind that you are now slowing down. Avoid bringing work to this area and keep the focus on rest and relaxation.

If in doubt, keep calm and carry on.
