Moderate growth in the price of houses is, however, foreseen in 2014

MONTRÉAL, Jan. 9, 2014 /CNW/ - The House Price Survey and Market Survey Forecast from the Royal LePage published today indicates that despite the decrease in real estate activity with regard to resales, there has been an increase in property prices in the Montréal region in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared to the same time in 2012 for most types of property.

"Following an encouraging third quarter, the real estate market operated at a slower pace in the fourth quarter of 2013. Sellers continued to maintain their prices even though properties were more difficult to sell. This combination has contributed to the increase in inventory and the decrease in sales in the Montréal region," stated Dominic St-Pierre, Director, Royal LePage for the Québec region.

Property prices in the Montréal region

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the average price for one-storey single family homes increased by 2.9% to reach $291,050 compared to the same quarter of 2012. The average price of a standard two-storey home increased by 5.8% compared to the same quarter in 2012, bringing it to $401,714, although this was slightly down from the third quarter of 2013. The price of a standard condominium, in turn, decreased by 0.4% in the fourth quarter of 2013 reaching $239,332 compared to the same period in 2012.

"The increase in property prices, particularly two-storey homes, is difficult to explain. It may be nothing more than the sellers' resolve to maintain their prices, which has contributed to the drop in sales. This increase is thus not sustainable and we should plan for a slight correction in the next quarter," Mr. St-Pierre said.

Real estate activity in the Montréal region

Compared to the same quarter in 2012, the fourth quarter of 2013 was marked by a decrease in activity in terms of sales of units for all types of property. Sales volumes of individual bungalows dropped by 9.8%. Sales of standard two-storey homes decreased by 6.3%, and finally, standard condominiums dropped by 2.9%.

"Following a recovery in the real estate sector in the third quarter, we saw that the resale market in Montréal ran out of steam at the end of the year," Mr. St-Pierre stressed.

Inventory by property type in the Montréal region

Inventory for each property type in the Montréal region has continued to increase. The inventory of bungalows has grown by 10.7% compared to the same quarter in 2012, whereas the inventory of standard condominiums has increased by 8.8%. "The trend has continued with respect to the increase in inventory for these property types. However, an interesting fact is that we have seen a decrease in the number of new registrations, primarily in co-ops. This factor should contribute to better balancing supply and demand in this market segment and this is encouraging for the future development of things," Mr. St-Pierre asserted.

Royal LePage states that there are fewer first-time buyers in the market or that they are more patient in the last quarter of 2013. "It should be noted that in the third quarter consumer confidence decreased to the lowest level since the recession of 2008, which can explain this phenomenon in part," Mr. St-Pierre indicated.

Real estate market forecast for 2014

Assuming a slight improvement in the economy of Quebec, and that the current federal government mortgage sector regulations remain unchanged, Royal LePage expects property prices to increase modestly in 2014 in the Montreal region. "There should be an increase of between 1 and 2.5 percent for individual homes, while the price of standard condominiums should decrease between 2 and 4 percent due to the extremely high supply," Mr. St-Pierre estimates.

"We already know that interest rates will stay low in 2014. Also, the world economy should continue to improve this year, as should the American real estate market. The two determining factors likely to affect the 2014 real estate market are the performance of the Quebec economy, and the possibility that the mortgage regulations could be tightened further," Mr. St-Pierre maintains.

"The prospect of Ottawa introducing new rules for the purpose of slowing down the lively Toronto and Vancouver real estate markets could certainly have a bad effect on the Montreal real estate market in 2014," Mr. St-Pierre predicts.
