Why Buy Now?

Motivated by the threat of higher interest rates down the road, first-time buyers are contributing to strong upward momentum in residential housing markets across Canada, according to a RE/MAX report.

The RE/MAX First-Time Buyers Report, highlighting trends and developments in 19 major Canadian centres, found that low interest rates and balanced market conditions have provided significant impetus in 2011, particularly at lower price points. Just over 30 percent of markets are reporting sales in excess of 2010 levels as a result, while almost 70 percent have experienced an upswing in average price.

"With the Canadian economy on firmer footing overall, residential real estate is well-positioned moving into the traditionally busy spring market," says Elton Ash, Regional Executive Vice President, RE/MAX of Western Canada. "Consumer confidence is climbing in conjunction with economic performance, and concerns over a secondary recession fade with each passing day. The mood is cautiously optimistic as first-time buyers enter the market."
