<p>Calgarians are in a home buying mood and it’s a sentiment echoed across the province, according to the annual RBC Homeownership poll.</p>
<p><span id="more-3530"></span></p>
<p>Albertans lead the country in saying now is the time to buy—69% compared with 59% nationally — with 31% of the locals saying they would wait until next year (compared to 41% nationally).</p>
<p><span class="inset-right">Albertans have long-standing confidence in the real estate market and see the market shifting in favour of buyers&#8230;</span>It could be the first indicator the thousands of newcomers to Wild Rose Country in the last two years are finally making the decision to buy a home rather than rent.</p>
<p>A majority of Albertans surveyed — 55% — believe current housing conditions reflect a buyers’ market, compared to the national response rate of 38%.</p>
<p>Albertans have traditionally shown faith in real estate, with the highest incidence of homeownership in Canada.</p>
<p>“Albertans have long-standing confidence in the real estate market and see the market shifting in favour of buyers, leading to greater likelihood to buy a home in the near term,” said Don Peard, vice-president, mortgage specialists, RBC.</p>
<p>What types of homes are on Albertans’ shopping list?</p>
<p>Well, it comes as no surprise and it certainly isn’t going to make the social engineers at city hall happy, but 68% of those surveyed said they wanted a single-family home, with 14% identifying a semi-detached home as their choice, 10% seeking out a condo and 2% shopping for a townhouse.</p>
<p>Spring is prime-time home-buying season and new home builders and land developers say traffic through showhomes has increased dramatically in the last four weeks, as have sales.</p>
<p>Existing home sales year to date in Calgary are approaching levels not seen for five years and yet none of the activity is being reflected in prices of existing homes, says the Royal LePage House Price Survey.</p>
<p>According to the survey, in the first quarter of 2012, detached bungalows posted the only average price increase, rising 1.9%, while prices for standard two-storey homes decreased 1.2% year over year and prices for standard condominiums fell 2.6%.</p>
<p>On the new home side, the Teranet-National Bank House Price Index for Calgary shows a price increase, year over year, of 1.6% in January (most recent numbers available), but a decline of 0.32% from December.</p>
<p>If you’re in that group of Albertans surveyed by RBC who said now is the time to buy, you can see the Calgary market is heating up and when demand increases, prices go up all across the board — from labour to material costs — and eventually financing.</p>
<p>With mortgage rates as low as they ever will be and set to rise (a few banks increased some of their fixed rates last week) hesitating on your purchase decision could cost you a lot of money.</p>
<p>New land levies imposed by the City of Calgary last year take effect this year and prices are not going to continue in a downward trend.</p>

<p>The Bank of Canada kept its trend-setting Bank Rate at 1.25 per cent on January 17th, 2012. This marks the 11th consecutive policy meeting in which borrowing costs have been left unchanged.</p>
<p>While recognizing that the outlook for the global economy had deteriorated and that uncertainty had increased since it released its October Monetary Policy Report (MPR), the Bank also made those same observations at its previous meeting on December 6th.</p>
<p><span id="more-3459"></span></p>
<p>Economic growth in Canada had more momentum in the second half of 2011 than the Bank projected in its October MPR, but it expects the pace going forward to slow by more modest than previously expected, due largely to factors outside Canadian borders. This reiterates statements made in December 2011. On the upside, the Bank said that “very favourable financing conditions are expected to buttress consumer spending and housing activity.”</p>
<p><span class="inset-right">&#8230;very favourable financing conditions are expected to buttress consumer spending and housing activity.</span>The Bank releases its updated forecast for Canadian economic growth. It now estimates that the economy grew by 2.4 per cent in 2011 compared to the initial estimate of 2.1 per cent, owing to the better than expected end to the year.</p>
<p>The Bank projects growth of 2.0 per cent in 2012 compared to 1.9 per cent in the October MPR, and 2.8 per cent in 2013, down slightly from the previous 2013 forecast of 2.9 per cent, with the big picture being that past and current growth estimates have been revised upward at the expense of future economic growth.</p>
<p>“The Bank said it expects the pace of growth going forward to moderate by more than initially thought, but the forecast for growth this year has actually been raised slightly,” said CREA Chief Economist Gregory Klump. “That reflects a weaker than previously expected growth profile for the first half of 2012, followed by an acceleration in the second half of the year.”</p>
<p>“The Bank reiterated that its outlook remains subject to downside risks from the sovereign debt issue in Europe. Recent credit-rating downgrades to much of the euro zone point to potential contagion by way of a drop in financial market liquidity,” he added. “The bottom line is that the Bank rate is not going to be going up anytime soon, and we may see rates lowered should downside risks materialize.”</p>
<p>The Bank noted that “while the economy appears to be operating with less slack than previously assumed, it is only anticipated to return to full capacity by the third quarter of 2013, one quarter earlier than was expected in October.” Overall, inflation expectations remain “well-anchored.”</p>
<p>A number of financial institutions have recently dropped their five-year lending rates to a record low of 2.99 per cent. This is down considerably from the advertised five-year rate of 5.29 per cent when the Bank last met on December 6th, 2011.</p>
<p>The Bank will make its next scheduled rate announcement on March 8th, 2012.</p>
