“This contrasted with a solid 7.3% increase for single-detached homes nationwide over that period,” Hogue also noted.
Hogue’s observation about condo prices form part of his October 15, 2020 report about the performance of the real-estate market for September.
Hogue noted that the benchmark price of homes in Canada increased 10.3 percent year-over-year in September.
That was the “first time it’s been in double-digits in three years”.
“The strength was generally concentrated in single-detached homes,” Hogue wrote, adding that the benchmark price for this type of home rose 12 percent year-over-year last month.
“This was almost double the 6.2% rate for condo apartments,” the RBC economist wrote.
In some markets, the picture has not been good.
“Condo prices have flattened in Vancouver, Toronto and Hamilton relative to pre-pandemic levels,” Hogue wrote.
In a previous report on September 30, Hogue wrote that the “impact of COVID-19 on the housing market is complex”.
“The bottom line is we expect condo prices to weaken in larger markets next year…,” Hogue predicted.
In September 2020, the benchmark price of a condo property in areas covered by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver was $683,500.
This represents a 4.5 percent increase from September 2019, and a 0.3 percent decrease compared to August 2020.
In areas under the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, the benchmark price of a condo in September was $436,900.
The number represents a 0.1 percent per cent drop compared to August 2020, and an increase of 4.7 percent compared to September 2019.
In Victoria, the benchmark price of a condo in September 2019 was $512,500.
Last September, the value for the same condominium decreased by 0.4 percent to $510,600.
The figure also represents a 0.6 percent drop from the August 2020 value of $513,900.

The City of Vancouver is moving ahead with a multi-million effort to house homeless residents.
SHARE
VANCOUVER -- Ari Newman has called Vancouver’s Strathcona neighbourhood home for the last three years, but that’s about to change.
“It’s been an increasingly bad experience living in Strathcona,” he told CTV News. “I’m seeing an escalation of violent crime, I’m seeing an escalation of violent assault.”
He himself has been assaulted twice while living in the neighbourhood.
“It was out of the blue,” he said of the first time it happened, recalling being blindsided by someone looking for money.
The second time, just a few months ago, he was assaulted by someone riding a bike, again over money.
“I was stopped and, you know, kind of shaken down for money,” he said.
Newman’s negative experiences in the neighbourhood started before the tent city went up in Strathcona Park, but he says the situation has gotten worse in recent months. He listed his condo in the spring, and has spent months calling local and federal politicians trying to get action taken in his neighbourhood.
“There really hasn’t been any action,” he said.
Newman is far from the only Strathcona resident frustrated by a rise in crime in the neighbourhood and calling for an end to the homeless camp. In late September, concerned residents held a rally calling on politicians to find homes for camp residents and dismantle the camp.
While residents like Newman look to sell their homes, real estate agents are seeing interest slow in areas such as Strathcona, Yaletown and Gastown.
“I personally have listings in like the Science World area and Gastown area, so areas close to Strathcona, and we are seeing the spillover effect into those neighbourhoods too, where people aren’t as drawn to come and see those properties and the listings are sitting longer,” said Gary Serra, a real estate agent with Remax.
Since the pandemic started, with so many people working from home, Serra said he has noticed interest in condos dying down.
“The detached market is very high at almost 25 per cent. Townhomes are the highest at almost 31 per cent. And condos are sitting at around 21 per cent,” he said.
While anything over 20 per cent is considered a seller’s market, he said he’s seeing a large downturn on condos that’s resulting in an almost “balanced” market.
In neighbourhoods like Yaletown, which have typically been highly sought after, he’s says found buyers “steering away.”
“People like the character, they like that it’s right in the city core and the grit,” said Serra. “It’s gone beyond that now and people feel unsafe.”
Like Strathcona residents, some who live in Yaletown have expressed frustration with a rise in crime and violence they say started when homeless people who had been living in a tent city in Oppenheimer Park were moved into the Howard Johnson hotel on Granville Street.
In early July, Vancouver police said they had received “an overwhelming number of messages” from Yaletown residents and promised more patrols and new safety measures in the community in response.
Serra said the real estate market has largely stayed strong despite the COVID-19 crisis, and this latest “bump,” but action on homelessness in the city needs to happen soon.
“Maybe after couple of months, if there’s really a concerted effort on the city’s part that is really doing something positive, then, you know, people’s perception will start to change,” he said.
The City of Vancouver has voted in favour of spending $30 million on housing tent city residents and other homeless people during the pandemic. Mayor Kennedy Stewart told reporters Friday the city expects to move forward on the plan “within weeks.”
For Newman, he’s ready to move even if he has to take a loss in the sale.
“I don’t think I’ll get what I want just given what’s happening in the community,” he said. “I’ll get way below my assessed value.”
But it comes down to wanting to live somewhere and feel safe, he said.
“It’s one of those things were you just have to understand all the variables that are involved in it and then make your decision,” he said.

TORONTO -- If you’ve found yourself enticed by a better mortgage rate or another lender offering something more competitive, there’s something you should ask yourself.
Does it make sense to break my current mortgage and lock it in at a lower rate?
Some families are also looking to free up cash due to layoffs associated with COVID-19 and may need to refinance their mortgage, while others might just decide to sell their home.
Regardless of the reason you might have to break your current mortgage, you will likely have to pay a penalty.
A pre-payment penalty protects your lender who was counting on interest payments from you for a specified period. When you pay your mortgage off quickly, no matter how you do it, your lender is getting less than they anticipated in interest payments and you have to pay a price for changing or opting out of the contract.
If you have a variable rate mortgage, you will have to pay a three-month interest penalty. However, if you have a fixed rate mortgage you will have to calculate three months of interest and the interest rate differential (the rate you have compared to the rate you will get) and pay the greater of the two options.
Let's break it down in a back of the envelop calculation: Assume you have a $200,000 variable rate mortgage at 3 per cent. You would have to pay a three-month interest penalty of $1,500.
If, however, you had a fixed rate mortgage at 4.29 per cent with 23 months remaining in your term and wanted a new rate of 2.39 per cent, you would have to calculate the interest rate differential or three months of interest and pay whichever is higher.
A rough calculation suggests the three-month differential of $7,283 is the amount, excluding fees, you would have to pay as it is greater than the three months of interest amount of $2,145.
The actual calculations are a little more complex, but this gives you an idea of what to look for.
To get a more accurate picture you could ask your financial institution to run and compare the numbers or go on a site like Ratehub.ca and enter in the variables that apply to you.
Before you break your mortgage, here’s what to remember:

A new office tower and entertainment pavilion will be built next to BC Place. Rendering: Westbank Corporation
A Vancouver City council decision Tuesday night means BC Place stadium is about to get cozy with 17 new storeys of office space, and another six for arts and entertainment.
That’s because outside stadium gates A and B, facing Georgia Street, Westbank Corporation is proposing a major redevelopment of the Creative Energy Steam plant and an adjacent industrial site.
The municipality received an updated rezoning application for 720 Beatty St. and 701 Expo Blvd. in March.
Atop both redevelopments, there will be a terrace with greenspace, with enough room for a running track on top of the upgraded steam plant building – which itself delivers hot water and heating to more than 200 buildings in the downtown peninsula.

Westbank first acquired the natural-gas steam plant in 2013.
The ground floor of the new office tower will be bolstered with a five-metre passageway to provide pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists a connection to four new levels of underground parking and a connection to Expo Boulevard and Beatty Street.
The adjacent entertainment pavilion will provide 30,236 square feet of commercial space with a karaoke spot, virtual reality sports hub, sports bar, and brewery already in the plans.

Nearby homeowner Helene Perndl expressed her support for the new infrastructure.
“The current building on this block is a big eyesore and I think this will be a huge improvement,” she submitted to council in favour of Westbank's proposal.
“I'm happy to see that big investment in office buildings like this are still going ahead even during the pandemic.”

The project will bolster the southwestern corner of BC Place ticket holders of concerts and sports games with more entertainment and dining options in the downtown area.
Initial construction of the now-approved project – which is estimated to generate approximately 2,000 off-site and on-site jobs – is being financed by Allied Properties Real Investment Trust for $185 million.
Rendering: Westbank Corporation
“The project will not only contribute to increasing job space and to advancing the city’s economic development objectives but also help to achieve the regional entertainment district envisioned under the Northeast False Creek Plan,” detailed city staff in a report to council.
The rezoning will generate nearly $13 million in development cost levies, $4.7-million in community amenities, and more than $1 million in public art for the municipality.
Greater Vancouver real estate had a huge month for sales, but condos are showing weakness. Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) data shows composite prices grew in September. Breaking down the price trend by segment, we see two different markets. Detached prices are higher than the month before, with the annual rate of growth rising. Condo apartments are lower than the month before, with price growth stalling. Both segments remain below their all-time highs.
Greater Vancouver Detached Homes Rise, While Condos Lose Steam
Greater Vancouver real estate prices are picking up some steam. The price of a typical home across REBGV reached $1,041,300 in September, up 5.8% from the same month last year. In the City, it was a little more dependent on which part you were in. Vancouver East saw the price of a typical home hit $1,105,800, up 7.5% from last year. In Vancouver West, the price reached $1,271,900, up 4.0% from last year. In all regions, the price increases are largely due to detached prices rising, and are still below the all-time highs.
Greater Vancouver Composite Benchmark Price
The price of a typical home across Greater Vancouver, in Canadian dollars.
Generally speaking, the rate of growth is accelerating – but two distinct markets are emerging. Detached homes are seeing a higher annual rate of price growth, but condo apartments are stalling. Detached home prices are at a high for the year, but remain 6.7% below the all-time high. Condo apartment prices are lower than the previous month, and are 5.24% below the all-time high.

The annual percent change of a typical home across Greater Vancouver.
Greater Vancouver Real Estate Sales Reach A September Record
Greater Vancouver real estate sales reached a new record for the month. REBGV reported 3,643 sales in September, up 19.6% from the month before. This represents an increase of 56.2% compared to the same month last year. It was actually so busy, it was 44.8% above the 10-year average for September.

The number of homes sold vs total inventory in Greater Vancouver.
New Sellers Of Greater Vancouver Real Estate Rise Over 31%
Greater Vancouver real estate is seeing an uptick in the number of sellers hitting the market as well. REBGV reported 6,402 new listings in September, up 10.1% from the month before. This represents an increase of 31.6% compared to the same month last year. The increase is substantial, but if you recall – not quite as much as the sales increase. This left total inventory tighter than last year at this time.
Greater Vancouver’s total real estate inventory grew, but not by much. REBGV reported 13,096 new listings in September, up 2.3% from the month before. This works out to an increase of 2.6% when compared to the same month last year. When measured by total inventory, this would appear to be a tight market. However, due to the large uptick in new listings, inventory is still in the balanced range.
Generally speaking, Greater Vancouver real estate sales are very strong. Breaking it down, the picture isn’t quite as clear and straightforward. Total inventory looks tight, but the sales to new listings ratio is balanced. When looking at segments, we see detached prices are responsible for more gains. Meanwhile, condo apartment prices are cheaper than they were a month before. This isn’t just a Vancouver trend though, it’s also similar to what Toronto is seeing as well.

In September 2020, condo prices declined slightly month-over-month in markets represented by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.
REBGV covers Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster, North Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Richmond, South Delta, Squamish, Sunshine Coast, West Vancouver, and Whistler.
In its report on October 2, the board noted that sales of condos reached 1,596 last month, a 36.9 percent increase compared to the 1,166 sales in September 2019.
The benchmark price increased 4.5 percent increase from September 2019, but declined 0.3 percent compared to August 2020.
The price of a typical condo in REBGV markets was $683,500 last month.
Compared to three months ago, September’s benchmark price for condos represents a 0.4 percent increase.
However, when compared to six months ago, last month’s price was a 0.9 percent decrease.
Meanwhile, benchmark prices of detached homes and townhouses in the region in September 2020 increased month-over-month by 1.1 percent and 0.4 percent, respectively, in September.
The same happened in areas covered by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. These are Surrey, North Delta, White Rock, Langley, Abbotsford, and Mission.
In September 2020, the benchmark price of a condo in FVREB markets was $436,900, a 0.1 percent decline compared to August of the same year.
Meanwhile, prices of detached homes and townhouses in the region increased 1.3 percent and 0.6 percent, respectively, over August.
Hogue made the prediction about weakening condo prices as part of his broader report about the Canadian housing situation and COVID-19.
The forecast comes in the heels of previous observations regarding a shift in buyer preference from condos to detached homes because of the pandemic.
Last July, Statistics Canada predicted such a shift.
“As working from home becomes more prevalent,” the agency stated,” we may see an increase in the demand for larger living spaces that single-family homes can offer, causing a shift in demand from condominium apartments towards single houses.”
On September 4, Hogue released a commentary about the August 2020 housing market, noting that buyers nationwide are “demonstrating a stronger preference for single-detached homes”.
Moreover, the “growing penchant for single-detached homes is supporting stronger price increases in that category”.
In his latest report on September 30, Hogue wrote that the “impact of COVID-19 on the housing market is complex”.
According to Hogie, it will “lead to diverging price trends among regions and housing categories”.
“It is cooling demand for and boosting supply of rentals in large urban areas,” the economist explained. “This, in turn, is reducing investor interest in condos.”
As noted previously, the pandemic is “also altering the housing needs of many current owners who look for more spacious properties in less crowded settings”.
“This is simultaneously shifting demand from condo apartments to single-detached homes and other low-rise categories, and increasing the supply of smaller condos in core urban areas,” Hogue wrote.
Moreover, “Work-from-home arrangements and the lesser appeal of big-city living (with reduced cultural and socializing opportunities during these times of social distancing) are increasingly driving buyers further away from downtown locations into suburbs, exurbs and even cottage country.”

Shangri-La tower glass windows could 'spontaneously' shatter, warns strata

Strata owners have, for some years, drawn attention to allegedly faulty glass windows in residential condo units at the 62-storey Shangri-La tower in downtown Vancouver.
There have been complaints, some filed in civil claims, about alleged fogging caused by moisture trapped in between the panes that make up what are known as insulated glass units (IGU), or windows.
Shangri-La tower glass windows could 'spontaneously' shatter, warns strata
But there are now more serious concerns.
According to recent strata minutes, the inner panes of the IGUs apparently “suffer from a nickel sulphide inclusion and/or manufacturing defects, which can cause (them) to spontaneously shatter.”
Minutes described the possibility of windows cracking as a “real and unacceptable risk.”
The minutes also said some outer panes in the IGUs have “thermal stress fractures” that could mean “that sections of the cracked glass could … eventually become separated from the main assembly and fall to the areas surrounding the curtainwall, (and be) a source of risk for danger to the life and health of pedestrian traffic walking anywhere near the base of the building, the swimming pool area, as well as to occupants of other units.”

AWM Alliance Real Estate Group Ltd., which manages the property, did not reply to Postmedia queries about the situation and whether it was taking any additional safety measures.
The strata includes 234 condo units at Shangri-La Live/Work, which covers floors 16 to 42, sandwiched between a hotel below, and more luxury residential units above.
Reports in a notice of civil claim filed some years ago mostly focused on condensation, with water dripping or sealant missing. There had also been earlier complaints about staining, and years of various engineering and legal investigations have ensued and continue.
The recent minutes noted that, over the years, shattered inner panes of glass meant some windows had already been removed and replaced on nine floors.
The minutes pointed to a recent amendment in early July to another notice of civil claim, which was launched by the strata in 2015.
This amendment names as defendants a list of developers, contractors and suppliers, including ones associated with Westbank Corp., the developer of the Shangri-La tower, and builders Ledcor Construction.
The building was completed in 2009.
The minutes said up to 70 per cent of the IGUs are allegedly failing “prematurely by decades and reaching just a fraction of their expected lifespan of 40 years.”
There is a different strata of units on floors 43 to 62 of the skyscraper, which is also separately seeking to remedy similar issues with its windows.
In all, each strata at the tower has two legal actions underway, one to recover costs under warranty via insurers and the other against developers, builders and contractors. All four cases have been set to be heard in October 2021.
Meeting minutes noted the cost of replacing all of the windows could be $65 million for the two stratas.
Between 2010 and 2011 in Toronto, when there were some 15 cases of shattered balcony glass crashing from tall downtown condos onto the streets below, some owners launched class-action suits against developers and contractors.

Are people fleeing downtown Vancouver for the suburbs? Not exactly. But while much of the rest of Metro Vancouver has seen an upswing in sales in the last couple of months, downtown condos are holding steady, with supply outpacing demand.
“This is the first time since May 2014 that we have seen over 1,000 active (condo) listings in downtown Vancouver,” realtor Ian Watt told the Sun earlier this month. Watt’s specialty is Yaletown condos. Listings have gone up by 54 per cent since August 2019.
This means it’s a verging on a buyers’ market in downtown west. Courtesy of REW.ca, here’s what you can get for less than $500,000:
