Toronto’s real estate market has plenty of talks regarding the expected boom of housing market over the past few months. But according to a new report, five other Ontario cities’ housing markets are going to explode in the next few years.
According to the real estate research organization Real Estate Investment Network (REIN), Ottawa, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, Barrie and Brampton all have the potential to become leading housing markets in the next five years.
To back up their prediction REIN measured several economic factors that might affect the growth of each market such as GDP, employment and population growth.
“On January 25, an agreement was signed to redevelop LeBreton Flats, prime land close to the downtown core of Ottawa,” reads the report. “The plan includes a new LRT station and will move Ottawa’s hockey team to a new home. It is expected that the plan will have a strong positive effect on demand and values.”
Other factors driving the Ottawa housing market? Housing affordability, new transportation infrastructure, and a strong job market.
Kitchener-Waterloo is described as having “overall largely positive fundamentals,” as migration is set to increase to the area in coming years. It’s listed above Hamilton due to its “affordability factor.”
“Kitchener-Waterloo is also benefiting from the Toronto ripple effect by way of Hamilton,” reads the report. “As prices in Hamilton rise, some buyers are choosing Kitchener and Waterloo instead of other, less affordable cities…In terms of housing affordability, according to RBC the region is setting at 35 per cent, well under the Canadian average of 48.7”
Barrie is described as being poised for “inevitable growth,” as it is identified as a key area in Ontario’s growth plan. Finally, Brampton is noted as being “strategically located” close to Toronto, while embarking on several revitalization projects REIN believes will draw in home buyers and investors.
“Revitalization is a theme in Brampton, and a trend REIN expects to increase in coming years,” reads the report. “In January 2018, Brampton announced a downtown ‘reimagination’ project focusing on providing ‘places’ for its citizens to gather, meet and experience.”
While these are the top cities to watch, REIN notes that all markets in the Greater Golden Horseshoe area will continue to heat up in the coming years.
“Notably, Ontario’s Greater Golden Horseshoe is one of the fastest growing regions in North America, expecting to grow to 13.5 million people and 6.3 million jobs in the next 23 years,” reads the repor

With the new mortgage rule at hand, Canada’s Real Estate Market will bring new challenges and opportunities for the year 2018. Here are 5 Key Facts that you need to know. 1) More local than ever To begin with, there's no such thing as a Canadian real estate market. What happens in Toronto and Vancouver’s booming housing market is quite different from that in, say, recovering areas such as Calgary and Edmonton. The momentum for each month in national home sales activity gained strength late last year, and further expected economic and job growth will boost sales activity this year despite the rising interest rate.  According to  Canadian Real Estate Association  President Andrew Peck said, "Even so, momentum for home sales differs depending on location and type." "While activity remained below year-ago levels in the GTA, the decline there was more than offset by some sizable year-over-year gains in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Vancouver Is

What are the Forces Affecting the Real Estate Market?

There are several opinions on which direction the real estate market will go in 2017. Whether you are planning to buy or sell in the near future it is important to look at 5 forces that will affect the Canadian real estate industry in 2017.   1. U.S. Federal Reserve’s Interest Rates Although technically Canadian and American central banks set their interest rates autonomously from each other, changes in the U.S. rates generally has a huge impact on Canadian mortgages rates. U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen raised rates by a quarter of a percentage point at the end of 2016, and has implied three more rate hikes will occur in 2017. Although it is doubtfully Yellen will take action so quickly, Canadians should expect mortgage rates to increase throughout the year. 2. Canadian Economy By and large the Canadian economy will not nose-dive if interest rates increase and the demand for homes decrease. But rising interest rates accompanied with an already weakening economy c
