BLOG – Investing in Real Estate – July 15, 2021
Why is Real Estate Investment Potentially Lucrative?
Property values in Canada are continuously increasing (as researched by Oxford Economics), and are among the highest in the world—experienced in the Toronto, Vancouver and other markets.
Sometimes this means people are looking for different options than directly living downtown, and are looking to the many smaller communities (typically known as bedroom communities or suburbs) where they can have a stable location to establish their livelihood. Many new condominium builds are popping up across Western Canada and elsewhere directly because of this (such as Langford or Surrey, British Columbia). These include locations that are close to work and home as people are looking to invest in communities where they can access their work, but also post-work activities. They are looking for locations that do not have the hustle and bustle of a downtown core, but also have the amenities that work for their lives and that of their family. Real estate investors are also looking for opportunities to rent to individuals in these areas, and are looking for the best opportunities to get return on that investment.
As a result, many communities that are outside the downtown core of major centres are seeing an increase in real estate sales and developments (StatsCan New Housing Price Index). Whether someone is looking for a condominium, starter home, duplex or row housing, or a larger home, there is definitely a demand and people are looking for what suits their needs (both those looking to live where they choose and those looking for investment potential), and this includes downtown locations as well as suburbs and other communities). And because of lower purchase prices, optimal interest rates and location value in the investment opportunity, the likelihood of achieving better than average returns is there.
The Covid-19 Affect
In the current state, property owners and management companies are directly experiencing the effects of a Covid-19 pandemic. Many are choosing to not invest in new projects, are unloading property options, and/or are not in a position to compete with the current market—it creates tremendous opportunity. As a result, we see improved purchase prices, lower interest rates and optimum value directly as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, meaning this appears to be a good time to invest in real estate because the costs are lower and the returns may be higher—during this time, there is an increased potential for better returns on investments. It is the typical, buy low, sell high mentality, with the possibility that the gains will significantly outweigh the purchase cost.
Ultimately, there is value investing in real estate, and it is more risk adverse than other investment types. Real estate markets are stable and staged for long-term performance.
