Condominium sales gains dominated the $1 million-plus market, with annual gains of 120{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} and 72{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in the GTA and City of Toronto respectively.
  • Vancouver luxury residential sales were capped by the city’s significant inventory deficit, as residential sales over $4 million contracted 14{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year overall. Annual percentage gains in $1 million-plus condominium sales surpassed other top-tier housing types at 29{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} with 559 units sold, just shy of the 599 $1 million-plus single family homes sold in the city.

  • Montreal sales over $4 million were up 140{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year; approximately one in three $1 million-plus sales were in the luxury condo market.

TORONTO , April 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Against a backdrop of global turbulence, Canada’s luxury real estate market stood as a bulwark of strength in the first quarter of 2022. While scarce inventory continued to undermine prospective sales, the continued upswell of consumer optimism, economic revitalization, demand for housing mobility, and renewal of urban life bolstered top-tier sales across all major metropolitan areas in the initial months of the year, particularly in the market for condominiums over $1 million.

According to Sotheby’s International Realty Canada’s Top-Tier Real Estate: Spring 2022 State of Luxury Report, residential sales in Canada’s largest luxury real estate market continued to climb in the first quarter of 2022, following record-breaking performance in 2021. The robust performance of the Greater Toronto Area (Durham, Halton, Peel, Toronto and York) luxury market in the initial months of the year foreshadows strength across every residential housing segment through the spring market. Residential real estate sales (condominiums, attached and single family homes) over $4 million from January 1– March 31, 2022, increased 30{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year with seven sales over $10 million, an adjustment from nine properties sold above this ultra-luxury price point in the first quarter of 2021. $4 million-plus condominium sales surged to lead the market with 160{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} annual gains, while single family home sales increased 24{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}. Four attached homes sold over $4 million where none had sold during this time in 2021. Overall, $1 million-plus residential sales saw annual gains of 11{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in the first quarter of the year, led by condominiums which surged 120{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} compared to attached home gains of 79{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} and a 10{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year decline in single family home sales over $1 million.

Top-tier condominium sales also dominated Vancouver’s $1 million-plus real estate market in the first quarter of 2021, as the city’s longstanding single family and attached home supply deficit channeled prospective buyers into high density housing. Between January 1– March 31, 2022, overall luxury residential sales over $4 million declined 14{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} from the same period in 2021, with three properties selling over $10 million on MLS in the first quarter of 2022 compared to six sold in the first quarter of the previous year. Residential sales over $1 million were down 10{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year in the first quarter. While Vancouver luxury condominium sales over $4 million were up 8{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year during this time, overall condominium sales above the $1 million mark increased a healthy 29{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}. As a result, 559 $1 million-plus condominiums sold, just shy of the 599 $1 million-plus single family homes sold in the first quarter of 2022. Frustrated by the city’s supply deficit, luxury single family home sales over $4 million, saw a 13{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year decline, with three homes sold over $10 million on Multiple Listing Service (MLS) compared to six homes sold in the first quarter of 2021. Despite strong consumer demand, inadequate supply also depressed $1 million-plus attached home sales, which fell 16{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} from the first quarter of 2021.

Montreal’s top-tier real estate market moderated to more balanced conditions in the preliminary months of the year, as sales activity normalized from record-breaking gains in 2021. The city’s $4 million-plus residential real estate sales were up 140{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in the first quarter of 2022 from the same period in 2021, while sales over $1 million balanced with a 6{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} annual increase. Notably, approximately one in three $1 million-plus residential sales were in the luxury condo segment. Condominium sales over $1 million also saw the greatest year-over-year percentage gains of the residential housing types at 73{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}, as $1 million-plus single family and attached home sales declined 11{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} and 8{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year respectively.

Sellers’ market conditions continued to strengthen in Calgary in the first quarter of 2022, as local consumer optimism continued to rise along with the province’s steady economic recovery. Residential real estate sales over $1 million soared 82{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year from the same period in 2021, while sales over $4 million increased to two sales where there had been no sales above this price in the same period last year. The city’s $1 million-plus single family and attached home sales rose a monumental 71{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} and 258{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year respectively, while condominium sales over $1 million increased to seven properties sold between January 1–March 31, compared to two units sold in the same period in 2021.

“Across Canada’s major metropolitan areas, we have seen extraordinary sales activity and consumer demand in the luxury condominium market this year, leaving no doubt that consumer and investor confidence in the downtown and urban market has been fully restored,” says Don Kottick, President and CEO of Sotheby’s International Realty Canada. “While there are lifestyle, family stage, financial planning and generational drivers behind the super-charged luxury condominium market, its strength also reflects the stark imbalance between strong demand and inventory challenges we are seeing across the real estate market overall. In Toronto and Vancouver in particular, heated market conditions and evaporating single family and attached home supply have left many potential buyers with condominiums as their best, and in some cases, only option. This will only fuel additional demand in the months ahead.”

According to Kottick, while major adverse events may instill anxiety in the top-tier market, Canadian real estate is regarded locally and globally as a safe haven in challenging times. As a result, Canada’s luxury market is poised for robust performance through spring, with the most realistic headwinds being the inadequate supply of housing, and the potential for demand-side government policy interventions to have unintended negative financial consequences for Canadian homeowners.

Top-Tier Market Highlights: Q1 2022

Vancouver
The City of Vancouver continued to navigate the challenges of soaring housing prices, population gains, insatiable local demand for housing and housing mobility, and the cascading repercussions of its longstanding deficit of conventional and luxury real estate supply in the first quarter of 2022.

A resilient economy enabled Vancouver to maintain the lowest unemployment rate amongst Canada’s four largest cities for most of 2021, and the metropolitan area’s unemployment rate fell to 5.4{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in February 2022, below the national average. According to the Vancouver Economic Commission, regional economic productivity has now rebounded, and Metro Vancouver employment has recovered in absolute terms. Confidence in the local economy and housing market has only magnified pent-up consumer demand for conventional and luxury real estate this spring. As a result, while the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reported that residential sales contracted 8.1{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 3,424 transactions in February 2022, the MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver surged 20.7{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} from February 2021 to $1,313,400.

Within the City of Vancouver’s embattled luxury residential real estate market, sales over $4 million (condominiums, attached and single family homes) fell 14{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 99 properties sold between January 1–March 31, 2022. Three properties sold over $10 million on Multiple Listing Services (MLS) during this period compared to six properties sold in this ultra-luxury price range in the first quarter of 2021. Overall, residential real estate sales over $1 million contracted 10{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} to 1,470 properties sold. While heated bidding wars remain endemic for all residential housing types under $3 million, prospective luxury buyers are now well armed with market data and intelligence; they are increasingly wary of property prices significantly inflated above current norms and weary of multiple offer scenarios. As a result, despite strong consumer demand and limited inventory, luxury properties that have been over-ambitiously priced compared to neighbourhood comparables are less likely to draw multiple bids and are at increasing risk of languishing on the market.

Vancouver’s condominium market dominated the top-tier real estate market in the first quarter of 2022, as the number of units sold over $1 million came just shy of the number of single family homes sold above this price point. Luxury condominium sales over $4 million increased 8{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} to 14 units sold between January 1–March 31, however, there were no ultra-luxury condominium sales over $10 million recorded on MLS during this period in 2022, as was the case in 2021. Sotheby’s International Realty Canada experts continue to note that as luxury condominium prices rise to new records, there is an increasing disconnect between the expectations of ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) buyers who are prepared to pay such prices, and the relatively limited supply of ultra-luxury condominiums that offer the lavish, bespoke and prestigious features, amenities and services commonly found in other major North American and international luxury condominium markets. Therefore, the city’s ultra-luxury supply deficiency is discouraging activity despite pent-up local and global demand.

Overall, $1 million-plus condominium sales increased a healthy 29{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 559 units sold in the first quarter of 2022, representing 38{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} of total residential real estate sales over $1 million in the city during this period. Consumer demand for Vancouver top-tier condominiums remains relentless, and robust sales activity as well as price gains are anticipated through the spring market.

As lack of prospective single family home buyers continued to retreat to higher density housing options due to lack of supply choice, demand for luxury attached homes in Vancouver continues its multi-year surge despite an insurmountable shortage of supply. In the first quarter of 2022, there were no attached homes sold over $4 million, down from four homes sold in the first quarter of 2021 levels. Overall, $1 million-plus attached home sales were down a modest 16{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 315 properties sold between January 1–March 31.

On the heels of a year that saw City of Vancouver luxury single family home sales over $4 million soar 172{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year in 2021, $4 million-plus home sales moderated in the first quarter of 2022, declining 13{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year as the city’s scant listings inventory left consumer demand unfulfilled. During this time, three ultra-luxury single family homes sold over $10 million, down from six sold in the first quarter of 2021. Overall, 599 single family homes sold over $1 million between January 1–March 31, down 28{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year.

Calgary
A booming energy sector, rapidly diversifying economy, employment gains and favourable interest rates continued to stoke real estate consumer confidence and activity in the City of Calgary’s conventional and luxury real estate market in the preliminary months of 2022, foreshadowing an active spring market ahead.

According to the Conference Board of Canada, Alberta is projected to lead the country in economic growth in 2022 and 2023 due to the strong recovery in prices for energy products and key commodities. By February 2022, the unemployment rate in Calgary had declined to 8.0{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}. Buoyed by economic optimism, real estate consumers steadily absorbed an influx of listings inventory through early 2022, resulting in record-breaking sales volume in February 2022, with 3,305 property sales reported by the Calgary Real Estate Board.

Strength in Calgary’s conventional market was mirrored in the city’s well-supplied luxury segment. Residential real estate sales over $1 million (condominiums, attached, and single family homes), surged 82{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year, with a total of 427 homes sold from January 1– March 31, 2022. Calgary’s luxury $4 million-plus market observed growth in the first quarter of the year with two sales thus far in 2022, up from zero sales in the first quarter of 2021. There were no ultra-luxury home sales reported in the $10 million-plus segment on MLS, consistent with 2021. While days on market diminished for top-tier properties overall, and well-priced premier luxury homes in sought-out neighbourhoods saw bidding wars, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada market experts caution that given the city’s sufficient supply of listings over $1 million, luxury property pricing strategies should reflect hyperlocal and current market conditions to attract qualified buyers and to avoid listing stagnation.

In a city where demand for single family homes continues to dominate the luxury housing market, top-tier single family home sales were brisk in the first quarter of 2022, with 377 total homes sold in the $1 million-plus segment, an increase of 71{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year. Two single family homes in the luxury $4 million-plus market sold thus far in 2022, while none had been reported in this price segment in the first quarter of 2021. Consistent with 2021 numbers, there were no homes sold in the $10 million-plus segment in the first quarter of 2022.

The city’s $1 million-plus luxury attached home market saw substantial sales gains in the first quarter of 2022. 43 sales in the $1 million-plus segment were reported in the first three months of the year, an increase of 258{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year. No sales were reported in the ultra-luxury $4 million-plus and $10 million-plus segments, as was the case in the same period of 2021.

The still tenuous recovery of Calgary’s downtown core has slowed the recovery of the luxury condominium market relative to other property types thus far in 2022. Despite consistent gains, condominium sales over $1 million did not gain the same momentum as the city’s top-tier single family and attached home segments. However, in the first quarter of 2022, seven properties sold over $1 million, compared to two properties sold in the same period of 2021. There were no sales yet reported over $4 million, on par with 2021. According to CBRE’s recently released 2022 Canada Real Estate Market Outlook, the city’s downtown office vacancy rate, which fell to a record low of 33.2{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in 2021, is projected to stabilize this year. Although consumer demand for luxury condominiums is currently uneven, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada experts anticipate that this will strengthen through 2022 as continued economic recovery draws new residents and investment into the city.

Calgary has recast itself as a destination for young talent and new business investment. As one of Canada’s most affordable metropolitan luxury real estate markets, the city is retaining and attracting a newly empowered, work-from-anywhere professional class from across Canada. According to Sotheby’s International Realty Canada experts, the city has seen a marked increase in out-of-province top-tier real estate inquiries throughout the first quarter of 2022 from across Canada and notably Ontario, as well as the United States. There has also been an uptick in enquiries from mainland China. Increasingly regarded as a destination for affordable conventional and luxury housing, as well as real estate investment, the city is well-positioned for sustained growth and development throughout the spring and beyond.

Greater Toronto Area
Following a year that saw luxury residential sales over $4 million soar 224{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year in the Greater Toronto Area (Durham, Halton, Peel, Toronto and York) to record highs in 2021, the chasm between prospective buyers’ insatiable demand and scant supply widened further in the initial months of 2022, extinguishing potential activity while igniting bidding wars and price escalation. As real estate consumer confidence and demand rose to surpass levels seen in 2021 according to Sotheby’s International Realty Canada experts, $4 million-plus residential real estate sales (condominiums, attached and single family homes) increased a robust 30{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 239 properties sold between January 1– March 31, 2022. Ultra-luxury sales over $10 million recorded on Multiple Listings Service (MLS) fell to seven properties sold compared to nine sold during this period in 2021. Overall, GTA top-tier real estate sales over $1 million were up 11{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 15,209 properties sold in the first quarter 2022. Within the City of Toronto, luxury transactions over $4 million increased 29{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 129 properties sold between January 1– March 31, with one unit selling above $10 million on MLS compared to six units sold above this ultra-luxury price point in the same period of 2021. Residential sales over $1 million in the City of Toronto were up a modest 10{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 4,388 properties sold in the first quarter of 2022. According to Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, sales activity continues to stem predominantly from locals, including those seeking housing upgrades to meet family stage and lifestyle needs, along with local investors seeking real estate assets to hedge against inflation and take advantage of strong residential rental demand and low interest rates.

Toronto’s luxury condominium market gained additional momentum in the preliminary months of 2022, as fading pandemic restrictions revitalized the desire for urban living, and as prospective buyers across demographics and generations sought the convenience, safety, and increasing opulent lifestyle offered by condo living in the city. The region continues to raise the bar for ultra-luxury condominium design, architectural excellence, smart home technology, amenities and services for Canada, as renovations and new construction adapt to increasingly elevated tastes of cosmopolitan, ultra-high-net-worth and largely local buyers.

Between January 1– March 31, the luxury condominium segment led annual percentage sales gains within the GTA top-tier residential market as sales over $4 million saw a 160{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} annual increase to 13 units sold. There were no properties sold over $10 million during this time, on par with the same period in 2021. $1 million-plus condo sales increased 120{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 1,555 units sold in the first quarter of 2022. City of Toronto condominium sales over $4 million between January 1– March 31, soared 225{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 13 properties sold. There were no sales yet recorded over $10 million, as was the case in the same period last year. Overall, first-quarter $1 million-plus condominium sales rose 72{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year in the City of Toronto to 994 units sold.

The GTA’s top-tier attached home activity reflected healthy demand, as sales over $1 million rose 79{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} to 3,761 homes sold in the first quarter of 2022. During this time, sales of $4 million-plus attached homes increased to four properties sold, all in the City of Toronto, while none had sold in the first quarter of 2021. Overall, in the City of Toronto, attached home sales over $1 million experienced a 17{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} annual increase in sales volume to 1,018 homes sold in the first three months of the year.

Intense demand for top-tier single family housing in the initial months of 2022 overwhelmed available supply, as bidding wars and price gains continued to spiral upward in the GTA. In the first quarter of 2022, sales over $4 million rose 24{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} from 2021 levels to 222 homes sold. Of these, seven ultra-luxury single family homes sold over $10 million, compared to nine sold in the first quarter of 2021. Overall, $1 million-plus single family home sales fell 10{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 9,893 homes sold in the GTA between January 1–March 31. Within the City of Toronto, luxury single family home sales over $4 million were up 17{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 112 homes sold. Of these, one home sold over $10 million compared to six sold in the first quarter of 2021. Sales over $1 million in the City of Toronto were down a nominal 6{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} overall to 2,376 homes sold during this time.

According to Sotheby’s International Realty Canada experts, local luxury and conventional real estate market demand, which has set new records since the start of the pandemic, will only see additional activity as the provincial economy recovers from some of Canada’s toughest COVID-19 public health measures. Bolstered by low interest rates and confidence in local real estate as a secure asset class in an inflationary environment, conventional and luxury real estate demand is poised to see additional demand this spring. As a result, price gains atop the 27.7{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year surge that saw the average selling price for all home types combined to $1,334,544 in February 2022, is imminent in the months ahead.

Montreal
The City of Montreal’s top-tier real estate market saw a return to more balanced conditions in the first quarter of 2022, as sales activity normalized across all housing types from 2021’s fevered pace. Despite calmer market activity, diminishing inventory and enduring demand for luxury real estate in sought-after neighbourhoods led to bidding wars and continued gains in housing prices, primarily in the single family home segment.

The province’s reviving economy, as well as easing COVID-19 public health restrictions, underpinned continued gains in real estate consumer confidence. According to Statistics Canada, ​employment in Quebec increased by 82,000 or 1.9{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in February 2022 from the previous month, while employment increased by 37,000 or 1.6{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in the Montreal metropolitan area. During this time, Montreal’s unemployment rate declined to 5.2{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}.

Overall, sales in Montreal’s $1 million-plus residential real estate market (condominiums, attached and single family homes) experienced a modest 6{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year increase in comparison to the first quarter of 2021, with 431 total units sold between January 1–March 31, 2022. However, this decrease, according to leading Sotheby’s International Realty Canada market experts, can be attributed to low inventory levels, rather than lack of demand. As noted by the Quebec Professional Association of Real Estate Brokers (QPAREB), there were 11{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} fewer active residential listings for sale in the Montreal metropolitan area in February 2022 than in February 2021, with 9,864 properties for sale compared to 11,145 in the previous year. Montreal’s $4 million-plus luxury real estate market saw significant gains in the preliminary months of the year, as ongoing pandemic and changing lifestyle priorities continued to spur fresh demand for additional space and amenities such as home gyms and offices. In the first quarter of the year, Montreal saw 12 properties sold in this price bracket, an increase of 140{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} when compared to the same period last year. There were no transactions in Montreal’s ultra-luxury $10 million-plus market in the first quarter of the year as of yet, in comparison to one home sold in this price bracket in the first quarter of 2021.

As reported by Statistics Canada, downtown Montreal experienced the highest population growth rate in the metropolitan region from 2016 to 2021, at 24.2{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}, and the second greatest increase for a downtown metropolitan core in the country. This, coupled with job growth, economic recovery, and loosening of COVID-19 restrictions, led to a return to city living that resulted in $1 million-plus condominium sales surging 165{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year in 2021, to a new record that saw condominium sales comprising 24{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} of all luxury real estate transactions over $1 million in Montreal last year. This growth trajectory continued into the first quarter of 2022 as $1 million-plus condominium sales continued to experience the greatest percentage sales gains of the city’s residential housing types, with an increase of 73{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to 137 total units sold between January 1– March 31. Montreal’s ultra-luxury $4 million-plus condominium market posted strong gains in the first quarter of 2022 with five units sold, up from one unit sold in the first quarter of 2021, foreshadowing continued strength through the spring.

Limited supply contained activity in Montreal’s luxury attached home market in the first quarter of the year, with 131 total home sales reported in the $1 million-plus segment down 8{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} compared to the same time period in 2021. Of these attached home sales, one transaction was reported in the luxury $4 million-plus segment, while none had sold over $4 million in the first quarter of 2021. Consistent with the same time last year, there were no attached homes sold in the $10 million-plus segment from January 1– March 31, 2022.

Single family home sales made up 38{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} of $1 million-plus real estate transactions in Montreal in the first quarter of the year, with 163 total properties sold, a decrease of 11{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year. $4 million-plus sales increased by 50{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year with six homes sold compared to four in 2021, and the ultra-luxury $10 million-plus single family home market reported no sales in the first quarter of the year, as was the case in 2021. Strong demand for single family homes led to steep price increases across the conventional and luxury market in February 2022. According to QPAREB, the median price of a single family home increased by 26{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year to $550,000. A housing segment also marred by low inventory, active listings were down in the single family home market, with 3,847 listings reported in February of this year, a decrease of 6{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year.

Despite top-tier real estate transactions stabilizing in the first quarter of the year, predictions for Montreal’s top-tier real estate market are optimistic with solid gains expected. With stock market uncertainty and global unrest leading to increased anxiety, many are turning to Montreal’s top-tier real estate market to diversify their wealth, with real estate perceived as a safe and sound investment. As the provincial economy recovers from pandemic health measures that were amongst the strictest in Canada, and as easing travel restrictions increase interest from U.S. and European buyers, the Montreal luxury market is set for a bright and optimistic spring.

Two Years After Trump And Mar-A-Lago, Palm Beach Real Estate Is Still On Fire

Two Years After Trump And Mar-A-Lago, Palm Beach Real Estate Is Still On Fire

Contrary to various public misconceptions, Mar-a-Lago—the exclusive Atlantic oceanfront resort that frequently served as former President Donald Trump’s “Winter White House”—didn’t make Palm Beach, Florida’s lavish real estate and lifestyle famous for the first time around.

The Sunshine State’s “Playground For The Wealthy” long has been uber-posh, dating back to the late 1880s when oil tycoon Henry Flagler first built The Breakers and The Royal Poinciana Hotel which eventually became the centerpieces of his luxury, southern hospitality empire catering to northern old money and spawning the now infamous “Billionaire’s Row”.

ADVERTISEMENT

So it shouldn’t come as a surprise either that even after Trump’s 2020 Oval Office departure, Palm Beach’s luxury real estate market isn’t showing any signs of decelerating even if Air Force One isn’t landing in town anymore.

ADVERTISEMENT

Writ large, part of the froth is because South Florida in general has been on a bull market run since even before the pandemic.

Low taxes, warm weather, business friendly regulations, and burgeoning innovation ecosystems were already luring finance firms, tech start-ups, and executives to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Tampa, and Orlando before 2020 as fast as California and New York could shed them. COVID-19 just widened the highways and threw away the speed limits.

The compounding in-migration over past few years, however, has resulted in one of the most unsubtle real estate ironies here in decades: after years of booms, busts, and frequently tumbling prices, South Florida now has a big-time housing and inflation crisis that few people were anticipating.

ADVERTISEMENT

At the highest ends in places like Palm Beach—a.k.a. “Wall Street South”—where billionaires, CEOs, sports stars, and celebrities like Tiger Woods, Sylvester Stallone, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, Larry Ellison, Steve Wynn, Jon Bon Jovi, and Ken Griffin have been digging in for years, the supply crunch is even more acute.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, Palm Beach County’s luxury, single-family homes sales—including Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, West Palm Beach, and Palm Beach Islands—have increased by 53.5{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year while the average time on market has plummeted to 58 days in the first quarter of 2022, a 57.2{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year drop. In North Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens specifically, where only 89 active single-family listings are currently active, home sales are up 68{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year with total volume jumping from $678 million to $1.34 billion.

Similarly eye-popping, the numbers for Palm Beach County’s mid- and high-rise condo sub-market aren’t far behind: average days on market decreased by 41{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in 2021 over the same period in 2020, while first quarter 2022 luxury condo closings are up 54{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} from 2020.

Developers and real estate investors are rightly trying to keep up.

Related Group recently announced plans to bring a new Ritz-Carlton Residences high rise to West Palm Beach, while South Flagler House, a $400 million luxury condominium, is on track to become one of the most expensive residential developments in the U.S.

ADVERTISEMENT

Meanwhile, multi-million dollar condo projects that have been under construction for years are well-timed to start absorbing buyers starting in the next few months, like Amrit Ocean Resort & Residences, SeaGlass, Nautilus 220, Icon, La Clara, Forte, and Alba.

Notwithstanding all of this new inventory, however, a lot of the long-term drivers behind Palm Beach’s supply crisis aren’t easily tractable—which other similarly tight and tony zip codes in Silicon Valley, Long Island, and Los Angeles could learn from. Many of the buildings about open up were sold out months ago or pre-sold pre-pandemic so they’re not even putting a dent in existing or future demand.

ADVERTISEMENT

Land is also scarce, sprawling, multi-generational estates are common, and most residents who have lived here for years whether full or part-time roundly agree that if you already own one of the few waterfront properties available why not hold onto it, especially when price appreciation is outpacing the bull stock market?

Each of these factors individually is an incentive for developers to build. But for locals collectively, they’re a glaring red light not to sell, particularly when it comes to single-family homes and estates. There’s also no small bit of NIMBYism (“Not In My Back Yard”) invisibly at work here when it comes to the prospect of denser, more overtly visible developments.

All of which means that every new Palm Beach luxury real estate project which adds new inventory while simultaneously satisfying the increasing demand for larger floor plans, hotel-style amenities, and waterfront views at scale is great for prospective buyers and companies looking to relocate here—and even better for the developers building them.

ADVERTISEMENT

This fundamental shift—from South Florida’s historically dense condo model to full-floor, all-glass, single-family, high-tech, high- and mid-rise “residences”—a.k.a. “homes in the sky”—is no small turning point. Developers will need to change their design, technology, and financing paradigms. Buyers will need to be patient.

ADVERTISEMENT

What is clear to anyone paying attention, however, is that these trends for more space, more resort-level, work-from-home luxuries, better, high-touch service, deeper experiences, and longer horizon investing on the part of buyers are here to stay.

ADVERTISEMENT

Given this context, the announcement by long-time Palm Beach-based developer Catalfumo Companies that it’s just launched the Landing at PGA Waterway is huge news for one of America’s most inventory starved cities.

“Palm Beach Gardens has become the ultimate, luxury real estate enclave in South Florida,” says founder Dan Catalfumo. “It’s now attracting even more refined and notable individuals relocating to the area. And from this came the inspiration for Landing at just the right time.”

The Landing will offer 98 flow-through three, four, and five-bedroom residences ranging from 3,100 to 5,000 square feet spread out over three, 6-story buildings on the last remaining 11 contiguous acres of open land in Palm Beach Gardens directly on the Intracoastal Waterway with yacht access to Lake Worth, Palm Beach Inlet, and Jupiter Inlet.

ADVERTISEMENT

The development will also include a private, 26-slip marina for power and sailboats up to 75’, 100-foot infinity-edge swimming pool, resort-style cabanas, a clubhouse, spa, guesthouse suites, high-tech in-unit features and finishes, and an on-site concierge.

ADVERTISEMENT

If anything about the Landing at PGA Waterway sounds over-amenitized given Palm Beach’s supply crunch, it’s not.

“This is what today’s market and buyer demands,” says Kevin Spina, Sales Director of The Spina Team of Landing’s luxury “sky villa” approach to merging single-family home space and design with the amenities and service of a 5-star resort.

“Palm Beach County is now a flourishing hub as major companies are migrating to the ‘Wall Street of the South’. We are excited to bring Landing at PGA Waterway to this thriving market and anticipate that it will transform the way we understand and experience luxury waterfront living.”

Residences at Landing at PGA Waterway start at $3.9M with pre-sales to commence June 1st. The project is slated to break ground in the third quarter of 2022.

Supply and demand at work in single-family home sales

Supply and demand at work in single-family home sales

One-household property product sales in Westchester for the initial quarter of 2022 ended up down 20.1{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} from the 1st quarter of 2021, while Putnam and Dutchess posted declines of 33{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} and 21.3{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}, respectively, in accordance to a new report from serious estate brokerage firm Houlihan Lawrence.

Forcing the amount of home sales down was a absence of stock, with the variety of properties readily available in Westchester dropping 30{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}, when Putnam noticed a 15{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} drop and inventory was down 38{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in Dutchess.

The lack resulted in a usual supply and desire reaction with median sale charges up 2.1{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in Westchester, 24{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in Putnam and 7{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in Dutchess, according to the report.

Houlihan Lawrence identified that in Larchmont, 29{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} of the purchasers in the initial quarter of 2022 arrived from New York Metropolis, while back in the initial quarter of 2020, the section of buyers that had appear up from the metropolis arrived at 50{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}. Dutchess County also noticed a sharp drop in the number of consumers coming from New York Town as when compared with the 1st quarter two yrs ago, in 2020. Back then, 29{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} came from New York Metropolis even though in the initially quarter of 2022 only 8{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} had been from there.

“Today’s offer and desire ratio reveal that the market place will continue to be a potent vendor sector for the foreseeable potential,” said Liz Nunan, president and CEO of Houlihan Lawrence. “If a house is lingering on the market below these ailments, it is quite probably (for the reason that of) the price tag.”

Provide and demand from customers ongoing to assist describe what happened in the luxury finish of the marketplace in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties in New York and in Greenwich, Darien and New Canaan in Connecticut.

In Westchester, there was a 17.9{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} improve in the range of luxurious houses bought, from 84 in the initially quarter of 2021 to 99 in the initially quarter of 2022.
