How heavy is your debt load?

Rising interest rates a cause for belt tightening – and not just for Canadians

By Wayne Karl

Even Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. warns that,“While the credit situation of mortgage holders in Canada remains stable, record high levels of household debt underscores the need to keep a close eye on trends and developments.”

Such concerns, however, may be overblown.

In fact, the ones doing the belt tightening should be the government, itself.

“Canadian households have taken on more debt over time, but they have used this debt to finance assets – real estate, for example – that are appreciating over time, causing their net worth to grow, also to unprecedented levels. The same cannot be said for government debt.”

Ouch.

This analysis comes from the Fraser Institute.

W

ay to go, Bank of Canada, you’ve freaked people out.

Your first rate hike in seven years – on July 12, raising the target for your influential overnight rate to 0.75 per cent from 0.50 – is cause for concern, for some.

But it’s not all you. That same day, Canada’s big five banks all raised their prime lending rate by 25 basis points.

Canadians, naturally, worry how these rising rates might hurt them, particularly when experts suggest this may be the first in a series of hikes over the next year or 18 months. And no shortage of reports suggest, with high debt loads and rising rates, it’s time to batten down the hatches.

Concerns about household indebtedness focus on measures such as total household debt accumulated, or the ratio of household debt to income, the independent research and educational organization says. Based on these metrics, Canadian household debt levels are indeed near historic highs.

By the end of last year, household debt reached more than $2 trillion, up from $357 billion in 1990. The lion’s share of this debt – two thirds, in fact – is for mortgages, while the remaining third is split between consumer credit (29 per cent) and other loans (five per cent).

Over the same period, the total financial liabilities of the government sector grew from approximately $700 billion to $2.5 trillion, while its net debt grew from more than $400 billion in 1990 to reach nearly $970 billion in 2016.

Toronto wealth planner and mortgage expert Calum Ross is even more direct.

By the end of last year, household debt reached more than $2 trillion, up from $357 billion in 1990.

“Rising rates is a sign for economic optimism,” he told NextHome.“Our economy is creating jobs, and if Bank of Canada GDP growth for 2017 does indeed reach 2.8, that’s great news.

“I am still very skeptical about the long-term strength of any of the Western world economies until we get government spending under control.

Factually, it is the single biggest threat to the standard of living in the western world and it must be addressed aggressively in the years to come.

“In Canada our federal and most of our provincial governments are spending more than they make. You don’t need an accounting or finance degree from a fancy school to know that incredibly problematic.”

PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT

ASH T RE E S - a n d th e E m e ra l d A s h B o re r B e e t l e Ash trees - are in a serious

state of infestation deterioration in Canada and the USA.

Emerald Ash Borer Beetles, assumed to be brought in from Asia in wood packaging around 2002 have destroyed thousands of Ash trees in Ontario and Map showing regulated areas caused millions of dollars in Natural Resource Canada damages. They were first noted in the Windsor area in 2002.

Remedial action plans are already under way in many cities throughout Ontario. The Canadian Forest Service estimates the cost of remedial measures including treatment or Identifying - Typical Ash Leaf removal may possibly be over $2 Billion over the next 30 years.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has implemented performance standards for major players such as the lumber industry and municipalities to have control measures in place.

Efforts are being made to treat ash trees to preserve them and possibly prevent the ash borer beetle infestation but removal is the primary remedial solution.

Current testing with an Asian wasp may provide a solution.

Ash tree affected by the Emerald Ash Beetle

Beetle hatched in ash tree Beetle

Emerald Ash Borer Beetle Exit holes in bark SOME HOPE - ASIAN WASPS The Canadian Food Inspection

Agency is currently conducting a pilot program using Asian wasps to help control the Emerald ash borers.

Although still in the early stages of field testing it is hoped that the Asian wasps eat the ash borer and they also lay eggs inside the living ash borer larvae, once hatched the new born wasp eat their way out of the other insect.

What can you do?

4.

As a property owner you have a responsibility to ensure that any ash trees on your property are properly treated and protected and present no hazards to others.

Check with local authorities.

Arborist professional opinion.

Professional treatment or removal.

Ensure that your contract for removal includes all disposal fees, damages and liability insurances.

5. Check your insurance policy.

Canadians getting creative to finance recreation property

By Wayne Karl

S

ummer time, and the living is easy… So the saying goes. And this may lead you to dream of owning a cottage or other recreation property.

Well, you’re not alone.

More and more Canadians, it seems, share the same hope, and are getting more creative to find ways to make it reality.

As real estate prices remain high in Canada’s urban centres, young families especially are looking for unique ways to purchase recreational property. In a recent survey conducted by Leger, more than a quarter (28 per cent) of Canadians with children under the age of 18 indicated they would consider selling their primary residence in the city in which they live in order to purchase a cottage, cabin or ski chalet.

“Many Canadians with young families are determined to own a cottage or

cabin and are willing to explore avenues to turn this dream into a reality,” says Christopher Alexander, regional director, ReMax Integra Ontario-Atlantic Canada Region.“As real estate prices in areas of Canada remain high, more buyers are exploring unique financing options such as fractional ownership in a shared property, purchasing a recreational property with a friend and even selling their primary residence and putting the equity into a cottage or cabin.”

In a separate survey of ReMax brokers and agents, 73 per cent of regions indicated that young families with children were a key driver of demand in their market, including established recreational regions such as the Okanagan Valley in BC, Canmore, Alta., Collingwood, Ont. and the Laurentians in Quebec.

Retirees were also a key driver of demand across Canada, with more than half (55 per cent) of regions surveyed reporting an increase in retiree buyers this year compared to last year.

JUST THE FACTS • Over a quarter of Canadians with children under the age of 18 would consider selling their primary residence in the city in which they live to help finance the purchase of a cottage or cabin • Young families are fueling demand: 73 per cent of regions surveyed reported that young families with children drive demand for recreational properties • Buyers are increasingly selling their homes in Canada’s two largest urban centres and using the equity from the sale to purchase a cottage, cabin or ski chalet • Almost two-thirds (65 per cent) of Canadian millennials (18-34 years old) would consider buying a recreational property in the next 10 years • Peace and quiet rated as the most important feature to Canadians when considering spending time at a cottage or cabin, beating out spending time with friends and family

“Large numbers of retirees and Baby Boomers nearing retirement are putting the equity they received from the sale of their home in cities like Toronto and Vancouver into the purchase of a recreational property,” says Elton Ash, regional executive vice-president, ReMax of Western Canada.“Significant price appreciation in those regions has made recreational property ownership a relatively affordable option for many retirees. This has in turn resulted in the price appreciation that we’ve seen in popular recreational property markets such as Whistler in BC and Haliburton in Ontario.”

As much as Canadians love the thought of owning a rec property, they should take note that this category is usually the first to feel the impact of any downturn in the economy.

Of the areas monitored in the 2017 ReMax Recreational Property Report Omnibus Survey, those in economically challenged Alberta show among the weakest year-over-year price growth.

Properties in Canmore grew less than one per cent, while those around the lakes of Edmonton declined 4.1 per cent.

This reality puts an emphasis on research and making the right purchase.

“Our advice over the years has always been very consistent when it comes to discretionary spending on real estate,” Ash told NextHome.“Always invest within your financial means.

“Real estate, in all categories, should be viewed as a long-term investment.

Recreational property even more so. Never invest with a speculative mindset, but always with the view to a long-term hold that will enhance your family’s lifestyle. Always ensure all the additional costs of property ownership are accounted for in a budget and stay within your personal financial means.”

Concerns about Canada’s

$2 trillion in household debt overblown; net worth has increased to $10.3 trillion

C

anadian household debt has increased significantly since 1990 – but so has the value of household assets, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, an independent, non-partisan Canadian public policy think-tank.

“Despite alarmist headlines, concerns about Canadian household debt levels can be overblown. When looking at debt levels it’s important to consider the degree to which Canadians are also using it to increase their net worth,” says Livio Di Matteo, a senior fellow with the Fraser Institute, professor of economics at Lakehead University and author of Household Debt and Government Debt in Canada.

The study finds that household debt in Canada increased to more than $2 trillion in 2016, up from $357 billion in 1990.

But crucially, Canadian household assets (real estate, pensions, financial investments and equity in businesses, for example) also increased in value over the same time period – from $2.2 trillion in 1990 to $12.3 trillion last year.

As a result, household net worth (total assets minus debt) rose to $10.3 trillion – a historically high level.

Notably, mortgages made up twothirds of Canadian household debt (65.5 per cent) in 2016, compared to 29.4 per cent for consumer credit (credit card debt, for example) and 5.1 per cent for other loans. And despite high housing prices in parts of the country, the share of total household debt represented by mortgages remained

unchanged from 1990 when they also accounted for 65.5 per cent of debt.

Ironically, although governments continue to sound the alarm about growing household debt, government debt is arguably a far more pressing concern.

Whereas recent increases in Canadian household debt have been accompanied by increases in net worth, the same cannot be said about government debt.

“Governments across Canada have been racking up debt, particularly since 2007, but the net worth of governments in Canada has actually decreased,” Di Matteo says.

“It’s somewhat hypocritical for governments to warn Canadians about rising household debt levels given the state of their own finances,” Di Matteo says.

Five things to know about closing costs when investing in a pre-construction condo

By Andrew la Fleur

who were given bad professional advice, or worse, no professional advice when they were signing their condo contract.

Here are five things every condo investor should know about closing costs for pre-construction condos:

1 | Closing costs are different for every pre-construction condo.

There is no set amount of closing costs for every condo.

There is no rule of thumb that closing costs should be this much or a certain percentage of the price.

It really depends.

That being said, usually, if buying a pre-construction condo in Toronto in 2016, you can expect unrecoupable closing costs for most condos to be approximately $8,000 to $15,000 for a studio or one-bedroom condo, and approximately $12,000 to $18,000 for a two-bedroom or larger condo.

Here are the major items that you can always expect to pay for when purchasing a pre-construction condo: Land Transfer Taxes (Toronto has provincial and municipal land transfer taxes). Approximate cost for units less than $450,000 is one per cent for provincial and one per cent for Toronto land transfer tax.

Development charges (these can include levies, educational levies, section 37 levies). These amounts can vary wildly from project to project and builder to builder. Assuming you have them capped, Toronto averages right now are $5,000 to $7,000 for one bedrooms and $8,000 to $10,000 for two bedrooms.

W

hen it comes to closing costs on pre-construction condos, there is a lot of misinformation out there.

You may have heard horror stories of buyers being hit with closing costs of $40,000 on final closing, and you start to wonder, if this is true, why are 20,000 people buying preconstruction condos every year in the GTA? The reality is that if you are educated and prepared when buying a new condo, closing costs are nothing to be worried about.

These horror stories of $40,000 closing costs are from buyers

Legal fees to your lawyer. Depends on who your lawyer is. Fees including everything will usually be somewhere between $1,500 to $2,000 Utility hook ups. When you purchase a new condo, the utilities have to be connected for the first time.

Tarion Warranty. Yes, you get a warranty with your new home, but you have to pay for it. Usually around $600 to $1,000 for most investment units. Check out this blog post for more information about Tarion Warranty Enrolment Fees: truecondos.com/tarion-enrolment-fees-2.

Miscellaneous ($500 each or less) fees and charges (these include law society fee, deposit cheque administration fees, mortgage discharge fees, status certificate fees). These usually amount to approximately $1,000 for a typical condo contract.

2 | Development charges should always be capped.

4 | Is HST included in the purchase price? It is and it isn’t…

Development charges (or development levies) are fees put on the developer of any new home or condo by the local municipality.

Most developer price lists will say “prices include HST.”And if you ask most developer’s sales reps, they will tell you that the prices include HST.

These should always be capped in your agreement.

But here’s the thing, the prices only include HST if you are moving into the suite yourself or someone in your immediate family is moving in.

Let me state that again —development charges should always be capped.

If the developer you are buying from says they will not put a cap on your development charges, run away!

Development charges are supposed to pay for the many things associated with building new residential units like sidewalks, lamp posts, streets, parks, schools, hospitals, etc.

The problem with development charges is that they are charged by the city on closing. So you don’t know what the city is going to charge because the building won’t be completed for three to four years after you sign your contract (assuming you are buying pre-construction).

It’s really these fees that you need to watch out for in your contract and most importantly, they should always be capped.

When you cap your development charges, this means that they cannot exceed the capped amount.

If you don’t have a cap, and the city decides to double or triple the development charges between the time you buy your unit and the time the building closes, you could be on the hook for any possible amount. It could be in the tens of thousands of dollars for this one thing alone.

If you are an investor and you will not be moving in, then you will be required to disclose this fact to your lawyer at final closing and you will no longer qualify for the built-into-theprice HST rebates.

In short, investors should expect to pay approximately 7.8 per cent of the purchase price on final closing as HST. This money is sent to the CRA by the developer, and it is up to the purchaser to apply for the HST rebate to get it back.

The good news is that if you purchase an investment condo that is less than $350,000, you should get 100 per cent of the HST rebate back (as long as you are renting out your unit) and it only takes about one month to get the money back after applying to the CRA. If your purchase price is between $350,000 and $450,000, you should get most of your HST money back, but not all of it.

If your purchase price is more than $450,000, consult a tax expert for your specific situation.

HST is something you need to budget for on final closing, but it’s not really a “cost” because in most cases you get all or nearly all of this money back.

3 | Development charges are rising every year in pre-construction condos.

For more information on HST and condo investing, I strongly recommend you check out the many other articles, podcasts, and videos we have on this site: truecondos.com/tag/hst-rebates.

Development charges are a huge source of revenue for municipalities.

5 | You may be asked to pay for other things at time of final closing.

New development is a golden goose that keeps on giving, and as such, cities across the GTA are constantly pushing the limits on developers and raising these charges.

Just recently fees nearly doubled in Toronto, for example.

Developers all protested, but at the end of the day, if the market is willing to pay for it, the city will keep increasing them.

This underscores the point that you must always have your development charges capped in your agreement, but it also means that just because you have a cap of $5,000 this year, doesn’t mean you will the next time you buy.

Developers may also ask you to pre-pay for certain expenses at final closing. These are not necessarily closing costs, because you have to pay them anyway, but you do need to budget for the possibility that you have to pay them.

The biggest example of this would be property taxes. The developer has the right to make you pre-pay up to two years of property taxes up front on final closing. This money is remitted to the municipality, but purchasers need to be aware of this.

Again, you should not consider this a closing cost, as it is an ongoing expense of owning any property that you would have to pay now or later no matter what.

Five years ago, a cap of $2,000 to $3,000 was normal in most agreements. Today it’s $7,000 to $10,000.

On the bright side, these charges are an inflationary pressure on prices which ensures that real estate values will continue to rise across the GTA. Investing in hard assets like real estate is a great hedge against inflation.

“While we didn’t see a direct impact to annualized home price appreciation in [Q2] as a result of the new policies, they have led to a psychological pause, with prospective homeowners adopting a ‘wait and see’ approach, sitting on the sidelines [hoping] that property values will decrease across the region,” says Dianne Usher, senior vice-president, Johnston and Daniel, a division of Royal LePage. “However, we believe that the hit to consumer confidence will only create a temporary lull in sales activity and anticipate that the region’s seller’s market will continue over the coming months.” * Aggregate prices are calculated via a weighted average of the median values of homes for reported property types in the regions surveyed

Canada’s housing starts hit five-year high

housing starts up for the second month in June. Demand for new homes continued to fuel home starts in the town of Innisfil instead of the landscarce city of Barrie. The town of Innisfil has become the prime location for the construction of low and medium-density homes in the Barrie CMA. OSHAWA

T

he trend in housing starts was 215,459 units in June 2017, compared to 214,570 units in May 2017, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.

(CMHC). This trend measure is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts.

“The trend in housing starts for Canada reached its highest level in almost five years”, says Bob Dugan, CMHC’s chief economist.“So far this year, all regions are on pace to surpass construction levels from 2016 except for British Columbia, where starts have declined year-to-date after reaching near-record levels last summer.”

TORONTO

The total housing starts trend in the Toronto CMA remained virtually unchanged in June compared to the previous month. The pace of new home construction has been stable across all housing forms. A minor decline in the single-detached starts trend was offset by gains in the multi-family sector.

Glancing further back, construction of ground-oriented homes, which includes single-detached, semis and town homes, have gained momentum throughout 2017, as housing starts so far this year have reached a five-year high. Limited resale supply in combination with strong home buying demand in Toronto have led more buyers to purchase preconstruction units.

BARRIE

Higher trending single-detached and row starts have pushed Barrie’s total

“So far this year, all regions are on pace to surpass construction levels from 2016 except for British Columbia, where starts have declined year-to-date after reaching near-record levels last summer.”

Oshawa CMA had a record level of seasonally adjusted starts in June 2017, the pace of construction being nearly three times higher than the average seen over the past three years. While all housing types saw increases in June, the row and apartment segments were the clear leaders. Price weary buyers from the Toronto CMA continue to fuel demand for new homes in Oshawa.

CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of Canada’s housing market.

In some situations, analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading, as they are largely driven by the multi-unit segment of the market which can vary significantly from one month to the next.

The standalone monthly SAAR of housing starts for all areas in Canada was 212,695 units in June, up from 194,955 units in May. The SAAR of urban starts increased by 9.6 per cent in June to 194,773 units. Multiple urban starts increased by 9.4 per cent to 127,944 units in June and single-detached urban starts increased by 10.1 per cent, to 66,829 units.

Rural starts were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 17,922 units.

Are ASSETS or SHARES your best bet?

By Jayson Schwarz and Konstantine Chaztidimos

W

hen you are about to either buy or sell a business, you need to think about whether you are going to buy the shares of the company in which you have the interest, or buy its assets pursuant to the Bulk Sales Act.

The assets usually include the physical plant and equipment of the company, as well as its name, goodwill, receivables, etc.

This decision on which way to go will impact the tax positions of both sides and dictate the legal form which the transaction will take. A share sale is usually preferable from the vendor’s perspective, while asset purchases are normally more attractive to buyers.

These opposing preferences are created by two primary issues; legal liability and tax consequences.

Legal liability is the main issue to be canvassed by prospective purchasers.

Purchasers must be aware that when acquiring the shares of a corporation, they are buying an entire company along with its full slate of assets and liabilities. This “warts and all” approach means that the corporation’s complete past history is also included in the bargain. If, for example, there is anything in the corporation’s past that could trigger a lawsuit – be it tax, product, environmental or employee liability – the purchaser may have bought this headache along with the business.

These risks can be minimized, however, by engaging a lawyer to perform what is known as “due diligence.” Due diligence involves procedures such as checking for registered claims or potential liabilities and confirming compliance with the relevant taxing authorities. An agreement which addresses any possible future issues and which specifies how

they will be handled would then be prepared by the lawyer.

Be advised, however, that a contract is only as good as its contracting parties. If one of the parties defaults on its responsibilities the only practical recourse available to the other is to sue; a generally costly and unwelcome undertaking.

The second issue to consider in deciding what form the commercial transaction will take is the tax consequence to each of the parties. When individuals sell shares of a Canadian controlled private corporation, any gain on the sale is deemed a capital gain for income tax purposes and, hence, is only fifty (50) per cent taxable. Moreover, all individual taxpayers are allowed a tax-exempt lifetime maximum of $750,000 on this form of taxable gain. Thus, it is clear to see how vendors would prefer the share sale approach, particularly if they qualify for any or all of this $750,000 lifetime exemption.

Conversely, if the transaction is structured as an asset sale, there will be two levels of taxation that attach to the vendor: (i) firstly, when the corporation sells its assets; and, (ii) secondly, when the corporation distributes the proceeds to its shareholders.

Prior to the shareholder distribution, there is also typically some amount of ordinary income taxable in the hands of the corporation. Specifically, where equipment has been depreciated on the books of the vendor to an amount less than that is allocated to it on the sale, there will be a recapture of capital cost allowance on that depreciable property.

There may also be profit realized on the sale of the inventory. As such, asset sales tend to result in more taxes and less net

proceeds going to the vendor.

Buying shares means that the purchaser will be stuck with the depreciated cost in the company’s books of the depreciated asset irrespective of the value paid for the shares. If, however, the transaction proceeds by way of asset purchase, such deductions would be based on the purchase price allocated to the asset.

Generally purchasers prefer asset purchases and vendors prefer selling shares. The balance is reached through negotiation and careful drafting. So be careful and find the right lawyer to help you navigate through these dangerous waters.

It should be noted that this article only touches on but a few of the issues inherent in the asset versus share sale discussion. For a thorough understanding on the intricacies of either form of transaction, we recommend you seek the professional advice of a lawyer and accountant to ensure that the transaction you seek is structured to maximize your interests.

Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address.

Over the last decade, we have worked hard to co-ordinate successful lending and borrowing for our many clients. Proper review, helpful advice and due diligence has been key to the overall success of all parties involved. The result is a solid book of business and deal flow.

The process of a private mortgage deal is as follows: When the mortgage brokerage receives a mortgage request, required information is gathered and the potential placement is assessed. We review due diligence material which may include mortgage application, credit bureau report, property description, property financial statements and rent roll (if applicable), local market description, appraisal or valuation, existing mortgage information, realty tax information, reasons for the loan and how the funds will be used. We prepare an overview of the project and funding requirement. If the mortgage request and real estate have merit, we approach prospective lenders with the opportunity. If interest is expressed, and subject to lender qualifications and confidentiality agreements, we will provide the due diligence package for lender review. Lenders will also be provided with the interest rate and lender fee payable (by borrower to lender) on the deal, which will be deemed fair for both parties. If you as the potential Lender agree to proceed, our firm will prepare certain legal documents and co-ordinate a commitment agreement between the lender and borrower.

It is very important to understand this loan commitment. On one side, you the lender are committing to a mortgage investment and a placement of funds. On the other side, the borrower is committing to provide security in the form of a mortgage and is relying on these funds to close a purchase of a property or to refinance for other reasons.

The prepared mortgage documents will then be sent to the lawyer of the lenders’ choice. The borrower will pay for their own legal fees as well as the lender’s legal fees. There is no cost to the lender. The monthly payments are typically interest only and the term is typically one year. The borrower will pay the broker fee. The borrower will also provide post-dated cheques for the 12 months (or term). At the end of the term, the mortgage brokerage firm may send out renewal notices and offer the lender and the borrower an option for a renewal (contingent upon agreement of both parties). If the borrower is not interested in renewing, our deal flow facilitates the placement of funds in other mortgage opportunities.

Please see the example below:

Part 1: Private Lender borrows through Bank $200,000 at 2.90% interest with a 25-year amortization giving Bank mortgage security. Monthly payments work out to $936 per month.

Business Investor

11289457_3117

Part 2: Private Lender invests $200,000.00 in mortgages at an average of 14% interest for a one year term. Monthly interest payments received would be $2,333 per month. The net spread to the Lender is $1,397 per month (or $16,764 over the one year term).

TREB releases Q2 commercial market statistics

T

oronto Real Estate Board President Tim Syrianos announced commercial leasing and sale statistics reported through TREB’s MLS System during the second quarter of 2017.

TREB Commercial Network Members reported more than 6.5 million square feet of industrial, commercial/ retail and office space leased through TREB’s MLS system in Q2 2017. This result represented a 10.7 per cent dip in comparison to more than 7.3 million sq. ft. reported leased in Q2 2016.

Approximately three quarters of total space leased was accounted for by the industrial market segment, with deals completed on over 4.9 million sq. ft – down from more than 5.6 million sq. ft in Q2 2016.

Year-over-year changes in average lease rates reported on a per square foot net basis for transactions with pricing disclosed were mixed. The average industrial and commercial lease rates were up by 10.7 per cent and 21.8 per cent respectively to $6.11 and $21.46. The average office lease rate was down by 8.3 per cent to $13.98. While changing market conditions obviously influence changes in average lease rates on a year-overyear basis, so too do changes in the mix of properties sold from one year to the next, in terms of size, type and location.

“By all accounts, the Canadian and GTA economy seems to be performing quite well. In the GTA, the unemployment rate remains low from a historic perspective. However, concerns do still exist with regard to sustained growth in the level of exports and business investment, which is especially important to the industrial market segment. Sustained growth in these areas of the economy moving forward, will likely correlate with sustained growth in commercial real estate transactions,” says Syrianos.

Combined industrial, commercial/retail and office sales reported by TREB Commercial Network Members amounted to 304 in Q2 2017 – down from a total of 390 sales reported in Q2 2016. Average sale prices on a per square foot basis for transactions with pricing disclosed were up for the industrial and office market segments, and down for the commercial/retail segment. Similar to the leasing market, year-over-year changes in average selling prices can be due to both changes in market conditions and changes in the mix of properties sold.

Making sense of rising interest rates

By Wayne Karl

T

he Bank of Canada’s decision last month to raise the target for its overnight rate to 0.75 per cent from 0.50 – the first hike in seven years – may be cause for concern for some Canadians. But should it be? Are more increases in the offing?

What does it all mean? How will it affect you?

Two of the most telling comments in the statement by the Bank of Canada were, “The current outlook warrants today’s withdrawal of some of the monetary policy stimulus in the economy,” and, “Future adjustments to the target for the overnight rate will be guided by incoming data as they inform the Bank’s inflation outlook, keeping in mind continued uncertainty and financial system vulnerabilities.”

14G COM

TRANSLATION? “The first statement tells us that they are very much looking to further rate increases when they state they plan to ‘withdraw monetary stimulus,’ but the second statement tells us that they are still not very confident in their ability to do so,” Calum Ross, wealth planner, The Mortgage Management Group, Toronto, told NextHome.

“The fact remains that while the output gap (an economic measure of the difference between the actual output of an economy and its potential output) may be closing – all three key measures that the Bank of Canada uses for inflation control are low.”

The BoC is trying to strike a balance between easing Canadians off a growing dependence on low interest rates and not shocking the economy too much. While there may be future rate increases, they will likely be slow and gradual.

“Low rates will be here for a long time to come,” says Ross. “Neither our government nor Canadian consumers can afford too much of an increase too fast – they are both in far too much debt.”

Canada recorded a government debt equivalent to 92.30 per cent of the country’s Gross Domestic Product in 2016, compared to an average of 77.76 per cent from 1980 to 2016, he points out. “The government needs low rates almost as much as consumers. Even more so when you consider the deficits being run.”

ECONOMIC STRENGTH And believe it or not, rising interest rates – at least in this example – are a positive sign that the economy is doing well.

“Our economy is creating jobs, and if GDP growth for 2017 does indeed reach 2.8 (as per the Bank’s forecast), that’s great news.”

HOW OTHERS SEE THE HIKE With this increase in interest rates and the recent Ontario Government Fair Housing Plan, governments need to be very cautious about the cumulative impact of intervention in the housing market going forward.

With both sales and prices slipping recently in the GTA, federal, provincial and municipal governments should think carefully about further measures to reduce demand for housing.

Ontario realtors would like to see governments put more focus on bringing more supply into the market, specifically “missing middle” type housing such as townhomes, stacked townhomes and duplexes – and speeding up the approvals process.

The best long-term solution to give growing families and millennials a shot at affordable homeownership is to increase housing supply and choice in the marketplace.

If the Bank of Canada indicates another raise in its key interest rate again before the end of the year, we anticipate more buyers will enter the market to take advantage of existing rates. In this case, the raise will negatively impact housing affordability moving forward, particularly in markets already struggling with affordability, such as Vancouver and Toronto.

However, if the Bank of Canada doesn’t raise its key interest rate again before year-end, we don’t anticipate this hike to have a significant long-term impact on the real estate market.

– Elton Ash, Regional Executive Vice-President, ReMax of Western Canada

– Tim Hudak, CEO of the Ontario Real Estate Association.
