Healthy Demand for Housing in St. John’s
CMHC released their Housing Starts Press Release for St. John’s yesterday. Below is a snippet from the release.
ST. JOHN’S, May 19, 2009 – Despite global economic uncertainty, strong economic fundamentals will support demand for housing within the St. John’s region throughout 2009 and 2010, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s Housing Market Outlook – St. John’s report.
Housing starts are expected to end 2009 at 1,550 units, with 1,675 starts forecast for 2010. The resale or MLS® market will post 3,450 sales by the end of this year and reach the 3,575 level in 2010. The average MLS® house price is expected to end the year at $198,000 versus $187,571 in 2008 and increase to $204,000 in 2010.
“The current demand for housing within the St. John’s region is being driven by strong fundamentals such as a buoyant local economy, continued in-migration and solid employment, and is expected to continue throughout 2009 and 2010,” said Chris Janes, senior market analyst with CMHC in Newfoundland and Labrador. “Positive trends in demographic and economic fundamentals, paired with ongoing momentum spurred by recent major project announcements such as Hebron and the Vale Inco Hydromet, will continue to support the outlook for the St. John’s area housing market,” added Janes.
Existing homes in St. John’s Remain Cool Says CMHC
The seller’s market has certainly ended. Inventory has increased approximately 30 per cent and listings are taking longer to sell or expire (never sell during their contract period).
The St. John’s real estate market boomed during 2008, driven mostly by optimism created by the NL Government budget surplus, the Hebron oilfield announcement, and the Vale Inco Hydromet in Long Harbour. In light of this, speculating buyers purchased homes from all price ranges in fear of property values zooming sky high. The market cooled after the third quarter peak in 2008 and remained cool during the first quarter of 2009 causing the seller’s market to weakened into balanced market by the end of 2008.
Prices, however, remain quite stable even during our current cooling market conditions. According to Stats Canada, new housing prices in the capital city area increased by 0.4 per cent in March compared to February.
