The Canadian real estate market has not gone unscathed from the economic turmoil affecting the United States.  However, given all that has unfolded, it is reasonable to say that the real estate market in Canada did not suffer the same distress.  More stringent regulations and moderate banking practices may have saved Canada from suffering the same fate.

A report released by PricewaterhouseCoopers and co-authored by the Urban Land Institute provides insight into what we can expect from the real estate market in the coming year, both in Canada and the US.  The report is compiled based on surveys and interviews with more than 900 of the industry’s real estate investors, developers, lenders, brokers and consultants in North America.  

According to the report, we should not be expecting a recovery any sooner than the middle of next year, and when it comes, it will be a slow one.  With respect to commercial real estate, the report anticipates capitalization rates moderately rising towards the end of next year.  Higher capitalization rates mean lower selling prices.  The findings indicate that the Canadian real estate market was not as affected as the market in the US, with total losses in value across Canada averaging between the 10 to 20% mark, compared to the demand of two to three years ago.  Frank Magliocco of PricewaterhouseCoopers Canada Real Estate Practice, remarked that real estate in Canada “experienced a manageable market correction rather than a full-blown credit crisis precipitated market meltdown.”  Considering the steep losses suffered in the US this could prove profitable to investors in the long run as it would provide them with significantly higher returns through the recovery process. 

For various reasons, the report outlines Washington D.C., San Francisco, Austin, Boston and New York as the top five markets in the U.S.  North of the border, Vancouver, Ottawa and Toronto were presented as the better investment and development prospects in Canada. With overbuilt condos and housing, Alberta’s largest city, Calgary, experienced the biggest rating decline in North America. 

The respondents surveyed admit that they are still concerned with potential for further economic instability, particularly from the U.S. financial system, and worry that the economy may take another downturn in the future.  Their investment insight for 2010 is to remain liquid, as cash is the best way to operate and only the ones most liquid can take advantage of the emerging opportunities.
