Atlantic Canada Housing Market Slows
(firmenpresse) - HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/14/12 -- According to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) second quarter Housing Market Outlook, Atlantic Edition(1), housing activity for both single and multiple housing starts will slow in 2012 by close to ten per cent and a further five per cent in 2013.
"Notwithstanding an expected decline, the level of construction activity is forecast to remain historically high. Multiple starts, including apartments, are forecast to decline 15 per cent in 2012 and a further six per cent in 2013. Weak employment and wage growth are expected to dampen single starts by seven per cent in 2012, with a further decline of three per cent in 2013," said Alex MacDonald, regional economist, with CMHC's Atlantic Business Centre.
Prices are forecast to rise close to three per cent in 2012 as a continuing increase in supply will keep the level of price increases close to the rate of inflation. Existing home sales for 2012 are forecast to decline moderately, in the two per cent range.
