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

The Toronto Condo Market is only getting Stronger!

-
Image
This year is dubbed "the year of the condo" by real estate agents across Canada, because of the strong performance in the country's major housing markets. The condo phenomenon is something that is happening all over North America. The performance of the GTA's top-tier condominium market eclipsed that of other major Canadian markets in both sales volume and percentage gains in 2017. Sales of $1-million-plus condominiums were up 59 per cent year-over-year within the region, with luxury sales over $4 million up 91 per cent over the previous year. In the City of Toronto, condo sales volumes in the $4 million-plus range rose 82 per cent and those in the $1-million-plus category were up 35 per cent year over year. Certainly in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, condos are becoming a choice in terms of where people want to live. If you’re a professional and want to live close to where you work, living in the downtown region has become a lifestyle choice now ...

The New Square One

If you've lived in Mississauga your entire life then you have certainly seen some major changes. Get ready for some more as Square one goes under more developments in time for 2015. The southwest expansion will see the addition of many stores with a Holt Renfrew department store opening its doors in 2016. Holt Renfrew along with many others will help serve the needs of an ever growing Mississauga population, particularly in the downtown core. The rise of condo's in the center of Mississauga, coupled with the new Sheridan college campus which sees an influx of students, will see down-town Mississauga as the place to be. The square one addition has recently completed construction of their food court, and with major cinemas, Go Transit hubs, and Playdium Mississauga makes it just another enticing addition for shopaholics. For more info on the construction and some great pictures check out the link below. Square One Southwest Expansion Underway
