经济学家表示,加拿大的住房调整可能已经结束
1 月份房屋销售连续第二个月增长,在连续四个月下降后增长 3.7%。 最新的增长使销售额恢复到去年夏天的水平。 加拿大皇家银行经济学家表明,利率飙升引发的大幅调整可能已经结束。 目前价格继续下滑。 1 月份全国 MLS 房价指数环比下跌 1.2%,自 2023 年 8 月以来目前已下跌 5%。 大多数当地市场的价格下跌,包括温哥华、温尼伯、多伦多、汉密尔顿、渥太华、蒙特利尔、蒙克顿和哈利法克斯。 然而,随着买家争夺不断减少的待售房屋库存,他们可能已经接近拐点。 他表示:“我们认为,底部可能会在年中左右形成,并预测国家基准价格将在 2024 年下半年逐步升值。” 经济学家也认为房价“接近谷底”。 新上市房屋增长放缓,销售与新上市房屋的比率表明价格每年上涨。 然而,负担能力仍然是一个挑战。 即使明年降息(Capital 预计降息幅度将会很大),负担能力仍将比 20 世纪 90 年代以来的任何时期都更加紧张。 预测房价跌幅将放缓,但今年价格将基本保持停滞。 安大略省和不列颠哥伦比亚省的销售额增幅领先,尼亚加拉地区增长了 18.5%,汉密尔顿地区增长了 12.6%,多伦多地区增长了 9.6%。 弗雷泽河谷的销售额增长了 15.9%,温哥华的销售额增长了 6.7%。 由于季节性影响,12 月和 1 月可能很难预测,而且走势可能会被夸大、上涨或下跌。 他说,需要更多数据才能可靠地解读趋势。 由于收益来自历史低位,因此市场仍然被认为缓慢,但阿尔伯塔省和萨斯喀彻温省除外,这两个省的销售额比大流行前的水平高出 20% 至 80%。 他预测,由于加拿大央行继续将利率维持在两年来的高位,且负担能力仍然是一个挑战,因此今年上半年的销售和价格将保持低迷。 “但是,我们认为,转向年中降息将使下半年的步伐加快——甚至可能更快。” “一旦信心恢复,就会有大量被压抑的需求需要满足,这可能会迅速升温。” 想知道为什么加拿大的租金打破纪录? 蒙特利尔银行的这张图表提供了一条线索。 事实上,蒙特利尔银行首席经济学家表示,这“毫无神秘感”。 他的图表显示,20 至…
